Logo a-go-go! After the fiasco of that logo, comes more news that the banking institution known as Barclays is highly likely to change their logo for fear of offending the Dutch if the proposed merger with ABN Amro takes place. While the logo causes less visual intolerance than the 2012 thing, it does strike aContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.06.07”

digital gets kidnapped
All will be revealed during Cannes week, if they win an award. If they don’t who knows. Will the ransom be paid? Enjoy!
stuff and things 15.06.07
Forget wikipedia, watch videopedia instead. 5min.com has short, instructional video clips on a whole lot of stuff. (source: iconoculture) Swap the plane for the train & get a first class ticket with Virgin Trains. The bearded one likes green stuff. Interesting that despite staggering out of Euston tube station each day onto the main concourseContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 15.06.07”
stuff and things 14.06.07
I love this image of social circles that I found on bnox courtesy of Philippe. Explore the links in the bnox post, you will be rewarded. 60% of British bosses dream of sex during powerpoint presentations. See, it does make you go blind. “Abby is suffering a painful bum from being over-spanked” is possibly oneContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 14.06.07”
stuff and things 13.06.07
I want one of these. The guy who created it is a finalist on the ITV series, Tycoon. And my wife works with someone who’s selling them. And it’s in my lounge! But it needs batteries and I don’t have any. The excitement level is huge. The key question is: can I adapt it toContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 13.06.07”
spam the monkey races with coulthard
Faces For Charity is the Red Bull Racing team’s charity. But more important than that, for £10 you can get your mug on the side of their cars for the British Grand Prix! So Spam the Monkey gets to fly round Silverstone at nearly 200mph. Woo hoo! (and feel good as he’s done somethingContinueContinue reading “spam the monkey races with coulthard”
fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll
Unsigned band, The Bribes, have just mildly annoyed about 4,000 Facebook members. Trading on the tirade of abuse that 2012 logo is getting, the band set up a fake facebook group. And then in a dastardly turn akin to the butler in Scooby Doo removing his mask, revealed that it was a ploy forContinueContinue reading “fakebook – it’s only rock ‘n’ roll”
tube reads
This is a great idea. I hope it catches on & gets rid of the people at the entrances to tube stations who shove (literally) the free papers at you. Can’t they have nice baskets for you to pick up at your leisure like the Metro? Books are great. I look forward to findingContinueContinue reading “tube reads”
social media gone wrong
It’s always a struggle to get your hands on good and bad examples of corporate social media type things when in deck mode. This iMedia article has them both including the Wal Mart debacle and the PSP fake blog cock up. As an addendum to that one, apparently they thought the only reason itContinueContinue reading “social media gone wrong”
hopes and dreams
Round up of social media launches. Beautiful example with Members Project from Amex by Digitas in US (disclosure time, I am Digitas London now, the artists previously known as Modem Media) allowing cardholders to share their project ideas, vote and then the best bit, Amex puts the project into reality. A great example of gettingContinueContinue reading “hopes and dreams”
