ALBUM ART AWESOMENESS

I originally planned to post something else, which I still shall post, but I got caught up in the awesome display of creativity from the album art of 2 rap artistes, who though known for their lyrical prowess do not strike me as the artistically creative types, but, i have been proven wrong. I mean i should have known better seeing as they both have some entrepreneural accomplishments as record label owners which requires some level of creative capacity as well as above-average acting credits, so it is possible for them to show forth some creativity outside of music to a large extent, but I digress.

Why Mr.Biggs missed it (in my opinion)

I still remember trips to Mr.Biggs with my dad on Fridays after school for meatpie and doughnut. Good Ol’days. But over time, Mr.Biggs faced competition from up starts and startups that literally took away its regular customers, like me. So they sought to reposition themselves to get these customers back in the most sensible manner-a complete rebrand. It has been 2years+ since this rebrand and I think it about time it was addressed. The rebrand saw the fast food giant lose the capital B that we have all grown accustomed to and settle for something they were led to believe was ‘contemporary’. Well, they had a mission to accomplish with this rebrand and I must say, they missed it. Here’s why…

PASTORS AND PRIVATE JETS

I Know some people right now would be like, “Mr. Johnson what does this have to do with branding?”, well, as a good friend of mine put it, it’s all about perception, and perception (the right kind) is what branding seeks to create.

Update: Diamond bank gets colourful.

Remember i posted the gist about Diamond bank's rebranded a while back and promised to keep you updated if anything came up? Well, here I am keeping a promise and keeping you updated.

Dining in Ore

A couple of weeks back I took a road trip to Lagos for the annual alumni meeting of my alma mata. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, God in his mercy saw us safely to and fro. But, one thing that did catch my attention, was were we had our rest stop.

THE SKY HAS FALLEN

So finally, its here, after cracking the case and listening to Adele make the sky fall, it has finally fallen. The much awaited 23rd installment of what is probably the greatest film franchise in history has finally premiered and though i wasn't able to make it to any cinema i bet it was awesome. So to celebrate in my own little way as a life long fan of 007, i thought to look back in time over the last 50 years and see the evolution of bond through his movie posters. Here I go.

MICROSOFT GO HARD pt 2: DEM DON VEX!!

So a while back I spoke on the the Microsoft rebranding that in my opinion, is a breath of air for Microsoft and at the same time big competition for apple. But now they've turned it up a notch.

Diamond bank gets colourful

So I went to my bank some days back and was greeted with a roll-up banner carrying a new logo, new wordmark and shortened brand name along with a new tagline-"your bank". What do you think?
