Grow Your Own Logotype (Java applet) is a new Processing-based creation from Mitchell Whitelaw, applying his earlier Limits To Growth work to typographical structures. It's a brilliant way to generatively create rough surfaces and edges, based on the Eden model of bacterial growth by accumulation on boundaries. Mitchell has also rendered some nice images of cube growth in 3D space using the same model.
