One Lap of the Web: Cumberbatch on Hamilton and Blue Ovals that never were

-- The Internet's greatest man-crush of the moment, next to boyish rogue Tom Hiddleston, is the aristocratically named and occasionally cross-dressing Benedict Cumberbatch. But the "Sherlock" star (not "Doctor Who," as the un-nerdy announcers mistakenly trumpet) has a dark secret: he's actually a Formula One fan who interviewed Lewis Hamilton at the podium at Malaysia. Bonus points for Nico Rosberg chucking a mike around like it's a hacky sack.

-- Legendary graphic designer Massimo Vignelli died this week. Most notable for introducing Helvetica to the New York subway system, he also redesigned the Ford logo in 1966. Well, that year it was either Vignelli or Paul Rand -- who designed for IBM, ABC, and UPS -- and the latter's ultra-modern rendition fell by the wayside. Just imagine how much less oval-y the Blue Oval could have been.
