Hooked by the Bear Tragedy

Friday, June 15th, 2007

Editors can be so easily overlooked when talking about creative types. It is often forgotten that amidst the scanning for spelling or punctuation errors, they have to creatively synopize and sell the article in only a handful of words.

So wanting an iPhone

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Apple iPhoneI have a cell phone, iPod, portable DVD player, and PDA that are all quivering because they are about to become paperweights as soon as I finish serving the second year of my current Sprint contract. If the last day of the contract is October 1st, then come October 2nd I will be in line at the Cingular store for my new iPhone. I’m drinking the kool-aid on this one. I can see how it will suddenly change everything. Not convinced, try watching this video.

Olympics maintain consistancy with another really bad logo.

London 2012 OlympicsI can’t think of any Olympic logo that is really good, excepting the five rings themselves. What is this one? Is it a map? Is it numbers? Is it indecently displaying a bloke on the left and a woman on the right? This abstract mess is the new logo for the Olympics. Seth Godin pulled the quote in defense of it, and it sure doesn’t sell me. I keep wondering how this made it to the public. Isn’t this exactly why there is so much red tape in creative design?
