help me choose

I know I'm a little late, but at least it's still January, right? I'm having a tough time deciding between these three typographic beauties...

The Stendig Calendar by Massimo Vignelli, designed in 1966...

 My usual choice, the 365 Typography Calendar, also known as the Pentagram calendar...



Or how about this one, the Classic Wall Calendar from Japan's MUCU?






















 And, this little guy is also being considered ... so nice & simple.

 I'm leaning toward the MUCU, I think I love that canvas binding. What do you think?

Hi! I usually get the 365, but the fonts started getting ugly.

Are you tired of Chicago yet?

I would go with the one by Massimo. Look how beautiful it looks in this gorgeous home:

Nice! Also, everything looks better with a wishbone chair.

Good to see you here again!
Hope you picked the Japanese one.

OOooo - the stendig.
I like its bigness.

An important consideration should be where you want your Monday to be. Unless you're just looking at the type and not using it as a calendar. :)

I would like my monday to be in turks and caicos.

i guess mucu might be the most practical and nice to look at.
it's the one i would go with. hmm, maybe i'll get one!

Carlene said...

I still haven't gotten one yet! Friday is payday...

i saw a really nice one at muji the other day.
i never buy a calendar (either a free one floats in or else i skip it altogether - got a cute one from a japanese magazine at the end of last year, so i lucked out this year), but now you have me more aware of them.
