compact discs come in all shapes and sizes

While digital players have put a major dent in the CD business, there’s something about having your tunes stored on something a little more tangible.

To shake the old CD up a bit, the designers of Poland’s Baba Akcja have taken the boring round disc and turned it into something far more visually interesting.

The discs were designed to symbolize various computer viruses, but I’m just drawn to the bright colors and shapes. My personal favorite: the tribute to the old 5-1/4″ floppy disk.

Given their odd shapes, I’m not sure you’d ever get these discs to survive spinning around in your CD player at thousands of revolutions per minute, but I still think they look cool.

Thanks a lot for the link to GeekAlerts Paul, much appreciated.

I’d also place the floppy disk as #1. It looks so cool!
