INSANE & INSPIRING: the triumphant branding of the london 2012 olympics.


Designing for the olympics is probably one of the most coveted projects any designer or agency could dream of, but designing for the olympics in London, which is known for its design prowess just maybe a challenge. Some years back, the bad boys of brand design, wolf ollins (i like to call 'em that, cuz they're just so controversial) wowed some and riffled others when they took on this challenge to brand the 2012 olympics, it was met with some degree of criticism but we'll get to that later, however, ...  to me? .................their solution?, ........ WOW!! 
*WARNING: THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF EYE CANDY ON HERE, SO GET YOU MOUSE WHEELS READY AND PREPARE TO SCROLL!!!!!!!*

30 ways to say YAHOO!

The somewhat ailing internet giant with probably the most popular name since the advent of the internet and email, (okay, yes, google might win that bout) YAHOO! will be introducing a new logo on September 4 2013 and until then they will treat us daily to 30 different logos before unveiling the new (and hopefully final) one. This may prove to be tiring, but it sure is a nice PR move.

Heres a nicely done video of what to expect...



By the way, you can view a daily review of each logo here

and the WINNER is...

I'm sure its no news that Multichoice Nigeria held a logo design competition to celebrate its 20 years of existence a while back. Well, after a seemingly long wait and much debate with regard to its authenticity (what with the ABC logo competition debacle!?), a winner has finally, (and i believe, deservedly) emerged.
