<p><a href="http://blog.thepixel.com/">The Pixel Blog</a><br />
This exquisite blog belongs to a Web design and marketing company called The Pixel. Amazing graphics in the header and footer, along with a giant tree (the branches of which separate the posts), make this design pure eye-candy.</p>

<p><a href="http://sushiandrobots.com/">Sushi &amp; Robots</a><br />

<p><a href="http://abduzeedo.com/">Abduzeedo</a><br />

<p><a href="http://www.pointandanchor.co.uk/">Point &amp; Anchor</a><br />
It’s all about the lines here. Point &amp; Anchor’s blog design is quite engaging.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pointandanchor.co.uk/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/point-&amp;-anchor.jpg" alt="Point- Amp -anchor in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://trentwalton.com/">Trent Walton</a><br />
Neatly combining a few uncomplicated code hooks, the founder of Paravel Web design agency, Trent Walton, has created an original, attractive blog. The presentation of each individual post and the overall layout of the blog are remarkable indeed.</p>
<p><a href="http://trentwalton.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/TW.jpg" alt="TW in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://madebyfudge.com/">Fudge</a><br />
The website of digital studio Fudge is currently under construction. Still, the way it has designed its latest news log is worth mentioning here. Photoshop interface imitating design is a neat idea. Plus, the navigation is a treat for the eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://madebyfudge.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/fudge.jpg" alt="Fudge in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="293" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://designintellection.com/blog/">Design Intellection</a><br />
This simple yet admirable blog design is achieved using HTML 5 markup. The dotted typography for post numbers is a nice touch.</p>
<p><a href="http://designintellection.com/blog/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/design-intellection.jpg" alt="Design-intellection in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="357" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.lamalla.cl/">LaMalla.cl (Chile)</a><br />
This amazing blog belongs to a small community of creative people, a space to share links to inspirational info from all over the globe. A grayscale geometrical background and cool jQuery effects make our exploration of this website a really enjoyable experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lamalla.cl/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/lamalla.jpg" alt="Lamalla in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="369" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.contrast.ie/blog/">Contrast</a><br />

<p><a href="http://demainjarrete.stpo.fr/">Demain J’arrête (France)</a><br />
This classy comic strip is available in French only, but the blog’s design won’t leave you cold.</p>
<p><a href="http://demainjarrete.stpo.fr/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/demain-jarette.jpg" alt="Demain-jarette in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="315" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://franfernandez.com/">Fran Fernández</a><br />
The blog of Spanish singer Fran Fernández features an expressive and slightly careless-looking graphic design, which reflects the passion of the musician best.</p>
<p><a href="http://franfernandez.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/fran-fernandez.jpg" alt="Fran-fernandez in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="344" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.stereosuper.fr/blog/">Stéréosuper (France)</a><br />
Stéréosuper is a successful duo of creative folks working in the field of multimedia. Boris and Jean-Francois are keen on karate: perhaps this explains the imaginative fighting characters in their design. The dark color scheme and hatched elements are quite appealing, too.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.stereosuper.fr/blog/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/stereo-super.jpg" alt="Stereo-super in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.musiccityunsigned.com/blog">Music City Unsigned</a><br />
This cute blog belongs to the Nashville community of emerging artists. Although it is Flash-based, you won’t have any problems with accessibility or navigation here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.musiccityunsigned.com/blog"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/music-city.jpg" alt="Music-city in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="305" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.talandacacia.com/journal#/journal">Tal &amp; Acacia</a><br />
Unpretentious beauty: this is how we would describe this design. Pastel-themed graphics give it a special flavor.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.talandacacia.com/journal#/journal"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/tal&amp;acacia.jpg" alt="Tal Amp Acacia in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="439" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.teamfannypack.com/denisechandler/">Denis Chandler’s Blog (Another Blog About Stuff)</a><br />
The style of this blog is fairly conventional, but look at the header! This bit of spice elevates the otherwise formal design, bringing in some splash.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teamfannypack.com/denisechandler/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/hello.jpg" alt="Hello in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="418" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mulletized.com/">Mulletized</a><br />
This blog of Cape Town Web designer Brendon Grobler features an offbeat layout and great use of typography. This is what Brendon says about his blog redesign: “I tried to create something less “bloggy” and more graphic, focusing strongly on typography (which is one of my great design loves) and imagery.” The result is impressive, wouldn’t you agree?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mulletized.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/mulletized.jpg" alt="Mulletized in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="465" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://m1k3.net/">M1K3 </a><br />
This blog (belonging to UI designer and developer Michael Dick) is an example of an excellent dark design.</p>
<p><a href="http://m1k3.net/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/mk3.jpg" alt="Mk3 in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="425" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.markforrester.co.za/">Mark Forrester</a><br />
This awesome blog-styled website is a creative outlet for Mark Forrester, a “half-baked” (his words) English/South African freelance designer and entrepreneur. The journal is easy and pleasant to navigate, and the cartoon illustrations in the header and footer are incredible. (They were designed by Cape Town-based illustrator and cartoonist <a href="http://www.alexlatimer.co.za/">Alex Latimer</a>).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.markforrester.co.za/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/forrester.jpg" alt="Forrester in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="332" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jordandchan.com/">Jord &amp; Chan</a><br />
This nice duo-themed layout presents two strips of content on the same page, a very original idea. The smooth background texture adds more charm to the design.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jordandchan.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/jord&amp;chan.jpg" alt="Jord Amp Chan in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="368" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://cog.nitiondesign.com/">Cog’Nition</a><br />
This blog has a lovely surprise: you can change the design’s theme, choosing from two amusing cartoon-style backgrounds.</p>
<p><a href="http://cog.nitiondesign.com/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/cognition.jpg" alt="Cognition in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="265" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jonahl.com/blog/">JonahL</a><br />
Jonah Levine’s blog follows simplicity and a pure style. An attractive dark design, and a good use of lines.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jonahl.com/blog/"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/JonahL.jpg" alt="JonahL in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="436" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://mmuller.com/blog/en">Marcel Müller blog</a><br />
Marcel Müller’s blog has a stylish, corporate look. Another good example of precise, minimalist design.</p>
<p><a href="http://mmuller.com/blog/en"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://media.smashingmagazine.com/cdn_smash/wp-content/uploads/images/60-fresh-blog-designs/muller.jpg" alt="Muller in 50 Beautiful and Creative Blog Designs" width="550" height="376" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.trippingwords.com/">TrippingWords</a><br />
This really is something striking. Everything here, from the header to the footer, is extraordinary and hyper-creative.</p>
