After reading an article in the L.A. Times that iPhone’s Siri is not so smart in Scotland somebody made this funny (fake) Apple commercial.

Logo Remix: Subzero, Moogle, Shell…Ring A Bell?

Nader — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:35:29 +0000

Most of these logos, created by gamer Steve Napierski, are remixed in a way that you would immediately recognize the real brand behind it, others might take a second look. I didn’t get Belmont = Dupont and Tonberry = Burberry at first, but might vary according to your exposure to those brands each and every day.

The bigger problem, for me at least, is to recognize the actual computer game (for ex. Subzero being a character from Mortal Kombat) which shows how firmly established brand logos are in my brain, and, that I obviously didn’t play enough games in my childhood :-)

Ok, Christmas is over but maybe one of your friends has his/her birthday, or, you just want to get this for yourself. QR Codes might be all the rage (or not) for advertising and marketing in your country but here is something special for geeks: the QR Code Space Invaders t-shirt, available at threadless.

What is a QR Code? (Wikipedia)

A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) first designed for the automotive industry. More recently, the system has become popular outside of the industry due to its fast readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background.

Fotoshop by Adobé. Brilliant!

Following up on the older Dove advertisement from a couple of years ago here is an even greater, unreal and brilliant example of society’s standards of beauty. The commercial, created by filmmaker Jesse Rosten, cleverly satirizes the beauty and fashion industry and since it’s so professionally made it could even run on tv and probably a lot of people not into graphics would believe it.

Men-Ups! Men photographed in female poses

“Men-ups!” is a funny project by photographer Rion Sabean featuring men doing pin-up-style poses. Interesting how absurd those poses look when they’re done by men. More ~~sexy~~ awkward Men-Ups! at Flickr. Wouldn’t that be a good viral idea for a new advertising campaign? [Petapixel]

Here’s a very simple recipe to make a Skittles Burger: Get some skittles, smash’em together (or squeeze them between thumb and pointer) then eat it. You can obviously also only use your favorite Skittle flavor(s) :-)
