the obama campaign
For 2008, the Obama campaign was easily the most visible and most succesful branding campaigns of all time. It not only forced a rethink of political logos on the whole, but also showed how a simple and strong idea is often the best way forward. Would Obama have won the election without the logo? Possibly. But not with that much style and flair, for sure. Go here and read on about how this logo came about, and see the many that have been rejected. Lots of really strong ideas, and its always nice to see how an idea evolves and gets implemented.

how i want to buy my fish
I do not like fishing. Nor do I like sloshing around the wet markets pushing and shoving, and somehow shrink-wrapped fish just does not look as appealing. So I will buy my fish here, in Turkey. Built in a busy part of Istanbul by Global Architectural Development (GAD), its really opens the space in the square and is still sensitive to its surrounding.

dancing closets
Ikea has always been rather inventive with their use of the web and outlandish concepts to promote seemingly boring closets and beds and kitchen sets. In another stroke of brilliance, they are now syncing music to dancing people. Upload your own, select one of their or simple use your keyboard to play your own tune.
