Interesting Business Card
This ambient marketing business card for a personal trainer named Poul Nielsen requires a bit of a workout in order to be able to read it. It also requires the recipient to remember the phone number, as both hands are busy with the "card" and can't be used to write the number down as he/she reads it.

Net4 Domains Promotion
Objective : To communicate that you can register all domains at net4domains.com. Being in a low margin and cluttered business category, advertising had to be low cost yet distinctive. Idea : Net4 pasted net4domains branded stickers on various existing public signs to make interesting domain names. The line at the bottom read "Register at net4domains.com". Results : After the campaign was released, visits to the site grew by 70%. Many of the inquiries resulted in actual registration.

Don't let smells mix. Biolyse system refrigerator Brandt, a refrigerator which prevents odors to mix. I think the illustration/characters idea is just brilliant.

When recycling becomes interior design
A very nice campaign by HP. It's not really about recycling old printers, but surely helps with some ideas on how to find a new application for old hardwares.

Massage that Message
Sometimes we have to massage a message to make it clearer, and in the case of the business card of Jackie Wright you have to massage the business card with your fingers to actually see the details.

Weird Logos That Work (and Why They Do) Part 2Logo Motives
The Logo Motives brand that represents designer Jeff Fisher is an admirable collation of imagery and letterforms. The manipulation of the letters O and G allow them to fit seamlessly into the overall train graphic with perfect geometrics all round. Modern Nerd
The Modern Nerd logo makes fine use of negative space to fool the eye into seeing the overall image of a figure, using just the symbolic shapes of hair, glasses and tie it links in well to the stereotypical geek/nerd image. The modern nerd logo seems to have it’s name Modern Nerd written in just MODERN. But if you take a closer look you’ll see that D & N have the same shape. Making Modern and nerd fitting in Modern. Upside Down
The clever execution of the Upside Down logo maintains legibility by manipulating select letters to represent the brand name. By using alternate letters or flipping the orientation of a letter gives an unusual appearance despite being easily reabable.

Street Art - Roads in Blue
Brands are not the only entities that use street marketing. Artists, too, are now invading streets and alleys with large scale creative marketing actions. The artist Henk Hofsra added a bit of color to the life of the Dutch city Drachten by painting a 1 kilometer stretch of road in bright blue. Written withinin the blue in big white letters are the words “Water is life”. At first, many might have thought that this was about raising awareness around what a precious resource water is (but in this case it is not). This road takes the exactly same route as an old water canal, and the objective of the action was to remind people of this. The water will soon be able to follow its former flow! This year the road will be destroyed and the canal will be restored as a waterway. |
