experimental typography

This image was designed by Juan Pablo Tradicce out of Argentina. In his words, "The logo was designed with the idea of being universal. To understand the word "love" there is no need for letters to read, only imagination and feeling."

In case the previous example didn't meet the "unusual material" requirement, I found this example posted by a college student out of the UK. It was a typography project :). He spent two weeks researching the best candy to work with, and eating a lot along the way. The type face he used is Avant Garde Gothic.
