i have been looking for a regime like this. but I just don't have the resources to do a lot of these exercises. i am going to see what I do have access to that will substitute or get as close as I can.

awesome clip.

agreed. it is a great tool. with the apps it is doing a lot of linkedIn style things. i think with the apps it is a matter of time until FB takes the top spot in the social network world. although Myspace has a massive head start. nice post

Re: Scoble + Facebook = Overload

Jason Keath — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 16:16:50 -0000

My theory is that its not for everyone. I rarely touch my FB or MS accounts on a regular basis. They serve a purpose, very useful for certain things when I need them or to run into people who may not find you any other way. But they are definitely not for everyone, and usually I think everyone that uses them will grow tired of the constant updating and care needed. I think Scoble will move on soon.

great post. i've recently learned this lesson. i have been surprised how some people do not see the long term value.

immature. feel free to bring in politics as it applies to the brand, the discussion, but this post goes too far into attack mode. If you want to have political discussions in this format, by provoking half of your audience, then change the blog goals and purpose.

A more mature and academic critique of the logo would have been more appropriate and truer to what most of us have come to expect from Brand New. The political REALITIES could of been brought in without too much bias in hand. I am sure comments from both sides would of surfaced to take care of the trench warfare that is "political debate" these days.

I am not here to defend any political party. I am here to discuss and learn from others discussing the art of the brand.

Can we steer the ship back on course please?

i just switched my wordpress domain over yesterday. it is $15 a year, pretty simple to do from the dashboard. takes a couple days to take. but it gives you that mild sense of accomplishment to see something you own as the url as opposed to the wordpress.com attached to it.

good luck. keep writing.

all I can see is some weird mini-me conjoined twin. I think it's the fact that both of them only have one arm in full view. kind of creepy to be honest. I think its a strong direction, but falls short in scale and overall narrative.

much better overall I suppose, but it didn't have to go far to improve.

I also think its nice that they finally left out any shadows or highlights. Clean, simple, imposing. I think the city name would be value ad, but thats more of a preference.

"why are you wasting so much time researching how our logo came about"

Because thats kind of the whole point of this blog. "Obviously you are not the most intelligent person"

Not sure if it will work well or not, because it will likely have a $5-$10 entry fee, but the Ad Club and Ad2 are hosting an event that night at Morehead Tavern, 6pm-8pm. One of the guys from BrainsonFire.com is speaking on their recent EFFIE award-winning case study, Rage Against the Haze, SC's youth-led anti-tobacco use movement. They are focusing on the benefits of selling it as a campaign rather than 'advertising'. Details for the event here: https://www.aafcharlotte.co...

prices are set for $10 for non-members for this event. if i could get it to be $5 for CLTwitter folk would it be worth it or is a free event the norm?

Re: It's a Small Globe After All

I dig it. Didn't notice the double "o" at first, but it is a bit troubling now. Although it almost evokes an infinity symbol. The dot missing from the 'i' does not bother me at all. How can you say "its just wrong"? Letters and words get twisted all the time in logos and design.

Overall I think it rocks though. The knockout type on slightly lit light blue is a classy look. Love the typeface. Anyone know what it is?

Props to the tagline also, glad to see someone like discovery does not take themselves too seriously. Although it does sound like a Bill Nye the Science Guy quote, but he was cool right?

Re: Why Social Communities Will Fail

Jason Keath — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:22:21 -0000

I think the premise behind your post here assumes that online social networking aims to replace face to face networking. Thats always going to be part of it for some but for me (and many other savvy interweb surfers)the evolution of social networking is fast approaching one that enhances or even begins offline relationships. And I am not just talking about those roaming the internet for dating. Bloggers/tweeters get together for unconferences, events get posted via facebook/evite that I never would know about otherwise, entire organizations and even companies are being formed online and then progress offline.

I agree that the potential exist to be lazy and to fall into using online social networking as a social crutch, but it can also serve as a launching pad, extending your reach, broadening your perspective, increasing awareness. The important step, I think all would agree, is to consciously push these tools to serve what are more positive purposes.

very cool. nice attention to the type, makes you think NPR without realizing it, but is unique enough for the station's specific character to come through. modern, from THE city, etc.

i dig it. very clean, much better spacing, modern treatment of type. the D reminds me of the Directv mark, but I think thats a reach on my part. enjoyed the interview and learning of the genesis of the change.

Re: My Blog Can Beat Up Your Web Site

blogs should be apart of any business model. and there is no reason why you can't incorporate a blog as a main part of your website. it can even be your front page. no need to choose
