Website / Apple redesign (Flash imitation)
Apple has redone their site with some really nice flashy components without using Flash. Checkout one example at: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Game / NAB and Socceroos
Clemenger Blue has worked with Digital pictures to design and build a ‘video-real’ Flash 3D game for the Socceroos and their involvement in the Asian Cup. It plays on the idea of goal celebrations and as such is titled Celebration Dance: Help our Socceroos perform. The game feels more like a consol-based piece with nice game-play, stunning graphics and quality sound.
Article / The 2012 Olympic Logo Ate My Hamster
Interesting design-take on the whole 2012 debacle on Design Observer. “The logo is an example of the sort of design you get when politicos and business people try to be hip. What we’ve ended up with is a logo commissioned by middle-class suburbanites who do ‘gardening in polo shirts.’ In other words, it’s a laughable attempt at ‘cutting edge’ design.”
Revolting Logo Causes Revolt
Who says people don’t care about brands. I haven’t seen anything like this kind of reaction since the BT rehash in the 80’s. I just cant see what Olins was trying to achieve, can anybody help me unravel the mystery? I’m sure Creative Review and others will be dissecting it. I don’t believe it will go away either knowing the English press.
