freefall skydive!

Blown away by the magnitude of this feat!  So exciting, took the country by storm again with space related viewing :)  Aptly taken opportunity of Red Bull to be plastered all over the ship and astronaughts suit!  World viewing will increase sales?  Further development of their brand for an adventure seeker!

Red Bull 'Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall'
Bond Themed Video of challenge at train station - good execution, using the bond theme and classic bond obsticle course makes for visual surprise and humour.  Feels very polished and slick so obviously staged rather than genuine challenge, surely?
Random note:

A book published with mixture of typefaces in same words!  Helvetica, arial and times new roman.  Appears less illiterate as go through apparantly!

Typeface choices increase for web design

This programme allows much more flexibity in typefaces used on the net in web design.  Easy functionality and interface allows quick changes and modifications :) looks fun!

The Dot

 
Google land!
 
 
Underground at Google lies the colour coordinated server lines, in Google's finest colour array!  This photo of the data centre blew me away - the level of careful attention and lengths of creativity in their brand development are exciting and astounding!

Correct paw placement - raising money for battersy cats and dogs home with this poster that shows 4 paw chords! Using play on words of chord names with the word cat, e.g dominant cat.  Particularly like the small black nose added to the white key gap between e and f to make silhuette of a cat's face!
 
Monorail cat
 
 
 
The use of iconic and well reconisable london map as an influence.  The intertwining lines form the shap of cats face, this is playful and for those who ever see shapes in a random mixture of lines!  Particularly like the small ears added to the london underground red circle to fit the cat theme.
