IncSpring.com is a newly launched website allowing designers to sell unwanted/unused logos and potential buyers to pick themselves up a ready made brand/domain. So far the quality control seems to be good, the designers outweight the buyers at this point, but it’s early days and if they make the right moves this has the potential to become a real success.
Obviously the majority of clients have their own briefs/concepts/names and ideas and won’t be happy buying an off the shelf solution to their identity. However with the option of adding accompanying domains for each brand and offering additional amends could be tempting for some less decisive new businesses.
The site is still in Beta mode, so they are still ironing out the bugs and developing and optimising the platform, however the site has a nice user experience, decent functionality and clean design.
I’ve decided to try my luck and i’ve uploaded a few unused logos to a profile here

Just came across these amazingly well executed Pepsi ads created by BBDO Germany. Following the pepsi red, white and blue branding the ads focus on adventurous themes portaying the “Dare for More” tagline. They were entitled; “Boarder, Climber and Surfer”. Inspiring stuff indeed.

Not new, but to those unfamiliar with Lasse Gjertsen’s work, this is my favorite video of his. Lasse Gjertsen is a phenominal talent, he was also the man behind the infamous youtube hit human beatbox. Lasse’s work is primarily video editing, however he has a history in audio production and in this, aptly named “Day Dream” he collaborates with Giovanni Sollima, an accomplished cellist from Italy in “Daydream”. Beautiful.
Part 2 isn’t bad either..

Interesting and informative presentation by Annie Leonard on “Stuff“. Where it comes from, where it goes to, why our current system is flawed.
There were some bits in this that I found pretty shocking. Brilliantly animated too..

I’m new to all this blogging business but thought it was about time I gave it a go…so with time permitting, I hope to be able to make this blog worth visiting. I’m guessing the focus will be design related, however I’m going to post anything that’s interested me enough to post it!
