ALL STAR EVERYTHING.

As you may or may not know, 2 Sundays back was the NBA allstar game in Houston, and if you did watch it, you would have noticed the 'colourblocking' that went on with the kicks the stars were wearing. From Lemon Green to bright red as well as what seemed to be like 'peach-ish' pink on some players (Mamba Baba!) they flooded our screens with both Amazing talent and bold sports fashion.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Now you may or may not know this but a new American restaurant is about to pop up in Lagos, Nigeria.( where else but VI). Its called Johnny Rockets. Now according to wikipedia, Johnny Rockets is an American restaurant franchise whose concept is to create a classic American restaurant atmosphere. The theme is the diner-style restaurant. Decor includes  individual jukebox stations, chrome accents and red vinyl seats. The staff at some locations are known to sing and dance every half-hour. Making a smiley face with ketchup on the paper plate when served American fries is a Johnny Rockets trademark.

THE ART OF 'BONING' FACE

Have you ever noticed that musicians, most notably rappers(me included) like to do what we Nigerians call 'Bone', and no I don't mean the other thing. What I'm talking about is "the art (and/or science) of frowning and squeezing one's face so as to give a menacing and tough appearance and or image"- as quoted from Emjay's slang dictionary, sorry no link.( tee hee).

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.

End of Discussion bread and Obama Biscuits..no seriously.

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.
