Northwest Airlines is now Northeast.. pointing at least
Really great discussion on Northwest Airlines’ branding fuck-up. I’ve always loved NWA’s old logo, and since I haven’t flown in 2 years, I didn’t know it’d changed. What a bummer. And then they have the balls to flip the logo around so that the north-west facing arrow/compass pointer is pointing north-east on a plane. Rad.
Huh?
My new favorite web agency. If they’re even for real, that is:
Our creative team will come up with ideas you never even thought of. How could you? You don’t have the talent we do. Don’t take it personally. That’s our job. That’s what we do. We do stuff.
Most companies like ours just provide regular solutions. Not us. We provide solutions that are revolutionary and groundbreaking. Our solutions are newer than anyone else’s, and they sound better because we give them cool titles like “Global Awareness Paradigms,” and “Market Consciousness Philosophies,” and “Creative Product Re-development Support.”
When we deliver your new business strategies to you, they’ll be in really snazzy binders that look nice sitting on big, round meeting tables, so you’ll know you got your money’s worth. When your project has been completed, we’ll give you several follow-up phone calls to give the appearance that we even remember who you are or what we sold you.
Classic.
Check it…
In any Cocoa app you have the ability to open a pop-up dictionary after you type a few letters of a word by typing option-esc. Very awesome feature…
CrapBook
Using FontBook must be what it’s like for you all to use Windows all the time; it does things I don’t understand, doesn’t respond the way I expect it to, and is a pain in the ass to use. And yet I keep going back.
Why Christian Republicans should be environmentalists
For a group who recites the Bible to oppose euthanasia, the disintegration of the nuclear family and media violence, it should be expected of them to honor the multiple biblical references demanding Christians maintain a positive stewardship of the earth.
Amen.
