Photoshop gets a new logo

 

As you no doubt know, “Photoshop” has grown far beyond the side project of Michigan grad student, and even beyond a single application, to encompass a range of functionally different apps–Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS3 Extended, Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Album Starter Edition, and soon Photoshop Express–that all share a solid core of imaging smarts.  As the press docs say,

To represent this rich family of products, Adobe is introducing the Photoshop visual logo. This logo will soon appear in all Photoshop-related marketing, so keep an eye out for it. The Photoshop logo on a product, service, or technology, represents the rich legacy, technical quality, and attention to detail that has made Photoshop the gold standard in digital imaging.

Or, as The Dude might say, “It really ties the room together.” Here’s a quick screenshot of the main variations on the logo. [Update: Jeff Schewe has posted a giant version, complete with E.T.]So, whaddya think?

Design with Purpose!!

Purpose a design house based in the uk have a very interesting site .. its absolutely fresh .

To celebrate Christmas this year, Gavin Martin Associates decided to hold
a Curryoke party – an evening of curry and karaoke – and asked Purpose to
design the invitation.

Purpose subverted popular Karaoke songs and the iconic Indian
take away container to create a memorable invite.

The invitations where delivered in a brown paper bag containing a
number of curry containers, each with a different song message scrawled
on the top. Songs include: ‘Murder on Dhansk floor’, ‘Love me tandoor’,
‘Rice rice baby’ and ‘Naaneater’, amongst many others.

Hidden away on the flipside of the lid are the event details
foil blocked onto mirror board.

 

Flat Color x Parskid

Flat Color, a Seattle-based art products site, has just opened their internet “doors” for business. They’ve got a pretty good starting point, too, since they’ve teamed up with Seattle artist Parskid for their first product release. They’re offering the traditional Giclée prints (can’t go wrong there) as well as a drinking glass and a pocket mirror (these are gaining popularity lately), all featuring some nice work from Parskid. Of course, all these items are a limited edition (everything is these days) and will soon be replaced with goods from another artist. If you’re into Parskid’s stuff like we are (it’s a pretty serious crush), then you know what to do and when to do it. Keep an eye on Flat Color to see what else they’ve got up their sleeves. www.flatcolor.com and www.parskid.com

Cricket crazy People

Indian beat Pakistan at the 20 – 20 worldcup …. what a red letter day in Indian sports history … An amazing match .. I though enjoyed the match in office .. amongst all my hooting colleages and samosas and beer … But today was even more eventful … Team India arrived in the city .. and in true Mumbai city fashion .. its people were out there to welcome them with arms wide open . The sites from the auto rickshaw were amazing .. people standing in the rain for hours , holding out Indian flags chanting out ” Chak de India ” , althought I didn’t manage to get a good view of the team .as I was stuck between a bus and a huge truck … My office staff happen to get amazing shorts of the entire entourage of the players . From Sahar all the way to Worli it was like a live coverage of the entire event … here’s some amazing videos and photographs taken by outstanding budding photographers from my office .

Toyota Street Mural

Saatchi & Saatchi LA took a print ad shoot for the Toyota Tacoma and turned it into much more – it also served as a street level stunt and a viral effort.

As part of the long-standing “unbreakable” campaign for the Toyota Tacoma, they partnered with Dave Kinsey, a well known street, graffiti and fine artist, to create two live mural installations.

One mural is of prehistoric creatures wreaking havoc on a contemporary urban setting. The live Tacoma parked in front of it remains unscathed. The other mural depicts an alien invasion in which our truck deflects one of the death rays from the UFO.

The murals were painted in highly visible locations in Los Angeles and Torrance, CA. Passers-by on the street stopped to inquire about the murals in progress, asking what they were for. Each one took two weeks to paint.
