Swedish Television recently launched their web based TV site with help from Doberman. SVT Play is the mothership of SVT's Public Service initiative to reach out to its audience on the web. At SVT Play, you can lean back and enjoy the show you missed yesterday, and find new interesting entertainment. Too bad the site (and the shows) are in Swedish only, because this is one sweet piece of work. I hope others take notice and learn a thing or two about great user experiences from SVT Play.

The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that will publish one podcast per day, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world. They definitely did something extra with the design of this one-year blog. It's very unusual for science related sites to look this good.

Logistetica is a design boutique specializing in web and print design, branding and corporate identity for small and medium businesses. Their site stands out like a dark and shiny purple gem. I especially like the cross-browser mini-navigation. Overall, it seems like these people know exactly what they're doing, and how to do it right. Via Web Creme.

The official site for the HBO Voyeur mini series is outstandingly creative. To the MAX! That's what I said to myself while taking a first look at this spiffy site. Lots of bells and whistles, and it works very well. Quite the masterpiece, if you're into all-encompassing, massive Flash sites.

Volll is a small European atelier for design and development based in Budapest, Hungary. The scrolling of this site is a good example of how to make it fun to find your way around a portfolio. I love the nice touch with the animated details on mouseclick. Cute, friendly and fun.

Loïc Sattler's an accomplished designer/illustrator with a love for strong colors and lots and lots of details in his work. In addition to the work, I definitely like how he's laid out the footer area. Very easy to comprehend and still very unique.

Here's a website design that makes all-encompassing use of illustrative art with great success. Web Designer Wall is designed and maintained by Nick La, who also runs N.Design Studio and Best Web Gallery. The idea is to inspire. Via Shaun Inman.

Taking on the role of Nike recently, Microsoft has started delivering some of the most exciting Flash sites on the web. They're all very different and very creative and makes great use of the capabilites of Flash. If you're going to use Flash, you should go all the way like they're doing with this site. I also think they're taking the cheesy color scheme of Vista in a good direction with Surface.

Watch the latest Music Video from your favorite artists. Get up to date Celebrity and Music News. See episodes of your favorite MTV Reality Show. The redesigned MTV.com is now a completely different and much better user experience. Bringing in consultants like Dan Cederholm to make sure they're on the right track tells me that the team behind the new site knows what they're doing. Their theming system named MTV HATS makes sure that hot designers give the site a fresh and varied look and feel. This is a great online makeover of one of the biggest media institutions in the world. Refreshing stuff. Via SimpleBits.
