Este Moş Crăciun cel mai tare brand?
Cel puţin în perioada sărbătorilor de iarnă... Da.
For a Better Brand, Think Like Santa!

New: www.kitblog.com

Dear reader, this is not yet a public version so please do not write about nor link to it just yet (this web site can go down pretty often for revisions and I do not want to offer to my readers a sub-par experience).

Kitblog.com nu mai e beta si devine noul loc de exprimare online a lui Cristian "Kit" Paul (Brandient).

Kit·blog has more than one face: is a personal web site, a design blog, a photoblog, a blog about Romania, a Macintosh blog, and so on.

De citit şi The purpose of Kit·blog

The Real "Identity Blog"

E ciudat ca atunci cand vorbeşti de identitate să dai peste cineva care pur şi simplu o fură. Literă cu literă, virgulă cu virgulă, poză cu poză.
Funny şi în acelaşi timp sad. Mai contează că investeşti uneori ore şi ore pentru un post? Copy-paste masiv: dă bine la căutări şi aduce trafic. Click pe imaginea de mai sus.

Noi aventuri in Peru

Astăzi, Marius Ursache a plecat spre Peru. Vacanţă de o lună, noi aventuri.
De urmărit Noile aventuri ale lui Habarnam (travel blog).

Update: An Ironic Sideview of Life - Un alt blog de călătorii, a unui prieten, Radu S. (Enjoy the trip! ;) )

"Design, not art "- Spiekermann

Unul din profesioniştii pe care mi-aş dori să îi întâlnesc (la BrandCamp 2007 sau în alt context), Erick Spiekermann, fondatorul (1979) MetaDesign defineşte designul. Cred cu adevărat în ceea ce spune.

Design is first and foremost an intellectual process. Contrary to popular belief, designers are not artists. They employ artistic methods to visualize thinking and process, but, unlike artists, they work to solve a client’s problem, not present their own view of the world. If a design project, however, is to be considered successful – and that would be the true measure of quality – it will not only solve the problem at hand, but also add an aesthetic dimension beyond the pragmatic issues.

A better 2010 World Cup logo?

Am mai discutat despre identitatea Cupei Mondiale de anul acesta şi despre problemele ei. Se pare că sunt discuţii aprinse şi în Africa. Vedeţi mai jos:
Can you design a better 2010 World Cup logo?

Check www.notthe2010logo.co.za (The unofficial 2010 logo competition site - for African designers)

The inspiration for the website was derived from a similar website that was created by 11 German designers, protesting the logo design process for the 2006 World Cup. The website is still up and can be viewed at www.11designer.de

German EU Presidency 2007 Logo

Germania va prelua preşedenţia Consiliului Uniunii Europene de la Finlada, la 1 ianuarie 2007. În stânga se poate vedea logo-ul adoptat (accesând sursa se va vedea un nume interesant).
Dintre logo-urile pe care le-am vazut până acum alese de ţările care au condus Consiliul UE cel mai mult mi-a plăcut cel al Austriei (Logo and Design of the Austrian European Union advice presidency- PDF).
