It’s been a mad first few weeks here at FutureDeluxe, however a few projects are coming to an end and slowly seeing the light of day. First up is an ident for new Type Foundry Hype for Type. The first in a series, here’s a sneak peak at some screenshots for Neuforma. Full edit to follow very shortly.

Becks have launched a new campaign ‘Music Inspired Art’ based on interactive screens located at various points around London, encouraging users to plug in their ipods and create generative art on and around their iconic bottle. Once the track is over the stills are uploaded in to a Flickr set here.

Man of the moment Karsten Schimdt has posted up a showreel of work based on his open source library collection for Java and Processing. Computational design and animation at its finest.......watch the toxiclibs reel here. Also catch Karsten down at Flash on the Beach this week.

Dutch motion design team Buro Knapzak have created this amazing new abstract identity for Universiteit Twente. Watch it here.

Karsten Schmidt has created the new ident for this years One Dot Zero exhibition commissioned by Wieden & Kennedy. The ‘live’ logo takes feeds from various Twitter, Vimeo, Facebook and social network sources to create an ever changing identity. What is interesting is Karsten’s development work which he has posted up on Flickr here.

Beautiful new audio reactive piece from Argentinian motion graphics designer Esteban Dianco. Watch the full animation here.

Alex Haigh is the man behind design studio ThinkDust and the recently launched HypeforType font foundry. Recent recognition this month from Creative Review (also watch for the guest font issue in September) is seeing him get the spotlight he deserves. Watch out for FutureDeluxe + ThinkDust colabs very shortly. Big things soon come.

Just when you thought you haven’t heard from Matt Pyke for a while, he returns with a series of animations which play a huge part in MTV’s new rebrand.

Matt seems to have taken his Universal Everything project ‘Advanced Beauty’ to the next level in the new ‘Sweetheart’ ident, featuring thousand of sweets in true pop art style. And then injected a bit of humor into the brilliantly titled ‘Mr Furry’. And as ever working with his brother Simon from Freefarm to provide the soundtracks.

Check them all after the jump.
