Favorite Tagline Today - June 25, 2008

I saw this as I was getting ready to head to work. I've seen it before, and every time I'm just in awe of how ridiculous it is. All that being said, it still made me remember it, so maybe it worked?
WOW!

Man vs. Banner Ad

This speaks for itself:

The London Logo - June 24, 2008

Do you all remember when London revealed this logo for the 2012 Olympics? OMG I still want to puke!!!

Why oh why is this the logo? The jagged emblem, based on the date 2012, comes in a series of shades of pink, blue, green and orange and will evolve in the run-up to the Games.

Okay, so when do brand people sound like pot heads? Well, when they say things like this:

"It's not a logo, it's a brand that will take us forward for the next five years," said Seb Coe, organizing committee chairman told BBC.

The design cost £400,000.............

WTF!!!???!? Seriously?

Just a random thought for the day.

Twitter Sentiment - June 20, 2008

Summize, a service that allows users to search & discover the topics and attitudes expressed within online conversations, specifically Twitter, just launched a new product from their labs. The new product measures the overall sentiment about a keyword or phrase.

So far, I'm not quite sold on it's legitimacy, and I'd love to hear how they gather this information, but for now, it's a fun new toy. To test the waters I put in some queries (George Bush, Global Warming, and Bikini) that I thought would deliver interesting results. You should try your own search. I'm not convinced it works, but I think it's going somewhere for sure.

Likemind Tomorrow - June 19, 2008

Tomorrow is June's Likemind meeting! As a reminder to my minuscule readership, Likemind is about people coming together to talk about trends, ideas, inspirations, and things like donuts and coffee. No pressure to even say a word if you don't want to. Write me if you want to go with me.
Likemind was founded by Piers Fawkes and Noah Brier. Noah recently launched Brand Tags, which is a pretty cool little project where you can visually see what words people readily associate with logos and brand names.

Sculpture - June 18, 2008

This little sassy sculpture from Ivan Witenstein pretty much has the best title I've seen.
