We share a lot on Social Media. Dozens of updates a week jumping through puddles of art, faith, hope and love. With some help from Buffer, a social sharing tool I rely on to tame all of this social media madness, I keep track of what resonates.
Consider this a 'greatest hits' from the last week of the Bleeding Heart Art Space social media-sphere. These are the posts you liked, clicked on and shared most last week, served together in one tasty meal.

Design Olympics
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoyed this comprehensive review of every Olympic logo EVER, but design legend Milton Glasner. Glasner is famous for designing the iconic "I HEART NY" logo. See if you agree with Glasner's assessments here.

You'll be Over the Moon for Over The Rhine
Over The Rhine makes a lot of beautiful music. Let it Fall is one of my favourite OTR songs and it is captured so well in this live performance video.
