'Levi’s ICD+ Jacket' with built-in GSM cellphone and MP3 player (2000-2002)

“A collaboration between Philips and Levi’s, the ICD+ Jacket launched in summer 2000, and is considered to be the first commercial wearable electronics garment."
The jacket had strategic pockets for a Xenium cellphone, Rush MP3 player and earphones along with channels for the wiring throughout the garment. A central control module connected all the devices to allow the wearer to switch between them and control their separate functions.”
Philips had been developing wearable concepts for years, as seen in books like New Nomads (samples shown below), and the partnership was supposed to generate a full line of clothing with various electronic functionality, but like most Y2K things it vanished after a few years.

Wipeout Logo Thread:
Wipeout was an influential futuristic racing game, released in 1995, with art direction by The Designers Republic and a stellar soundtrack. What's in a logo? We will focus on tDR's Wipeout logo and its inspirations.
The Wipeout logo was designed by The Designers Republic in 1995, a landmark studio in Y2K graphic design. Upon looking at the design closely, one can notice these letters are actually made from partial 8 glyphs. Below are the overlays of the Wipeout logo with Eurostile’s 8 glyph.
So why the repeating 8s? In an LCD screen, all numerals in a 7-segment display are created with the 8 numeral.
