Summer Olympics 2012
Summer is just around the corner, and that means that the Summer Olympics are too (July 27 – August 12). I just received an enewsletter from BrandsoftheWorld.com and I was reading about all the hype surrounding the logo created for the games held in London, England this year. According to www.spiked-online.com, criticism about the logo include: “the design sucks. It’s just too difficult to read the numbers ‘2012’. They are barely distinguishable as jagged, cut-out shapes, and the colours are garish. Meanwhile, the Olympic rings… have been shrunk to a tiny detail and treated in a single colour.” You are welcome to read the entire article here to get all the juicy details.
A couple of years ago we wrote a blog post about historical olympic logos and we asked what your favorite logo was. I’m curious what your thoughts are on this latest Olympic logo! I had a look at the ticket design for the games as well, and I can honestly say that I quite like them! I love the bright colours and I think that they have echoed the “jagged, cut-out shapes” and “garish” colours quite nicely in the design! Your thoughts?

Gift Cards a Win for Non-Profits!
It’s funny how one idea leads into another. Being in the creative field, that’s often how it works. We brainstorm, research and throw ideas around all the time. Sometimes we begin leaning towards one direction, but then, more ideas come to mind that lead is into another. The end result is a culmination of all of our wacky, and at times, pretty clever thoughts and ideas.
That’s how we ended up with the idea of helping local community agencies.
While creating business Christmas gift certificates for our marketing services, we were going through the details on what could be done and how it should be redeemed, and all of a sudden, we realized that non-profits could use some help too.
And so, the birth of the gift card for non-profits came to fruition. While this is late in the season, we decided to go ahead anyway, with the aim of expanding the concept further in the future.
Then we thought, ‘Hey we would like to help too!’ Why not create a contest for the agency that receives the most donations in gift cards? We looked in our pocketbook and our production schedule and decided that we could donate $5000 worth of free services to the winner.
So, if you’re looking for a new idea for giving this Christmas, something that counts to make a difference in your community, you can now give the gift of professional marketing, consulting and creative campaigns to your favourite local charity or not-for-profit organization!
Contest closes January 31st, 2012. We hope you can participate, spread the word and we certainly also hope you like the idea. Wonder what we’ll think of next!
