Just thought I’d share some ads I have found to be very much alike to each other. Would love to see other pairings, if any one has any to show. Cheers, W.
TED is a website I stumbled across not too long ago. It contains video lectures from a vast range of topics. If you have some time, look around and click on a few. Here’s a sample. Hope you enjoy.

I love to design logos. Mind you, these little guys are not easy to do and if you find a designer that tells you they are, please run away from him/her as fast as you can. So why are logos so hard to create/design/come up with? They seem simple enough. And therein lies the brilliance of a logo. Simplicity. They have to be simple, yet the message they convey is a complicated one. A logo needs to explain what a company/business does, what the philosophy is, what it stands for, who its audience is, etc… There’s so much information that goes into a logo. It’s hard, hard work, but still, I love designing logos. Next time you see a logo (hint: they are every where!) stop and take a look at it. Study it. Understand it.
If you are interested in logos, take a look at this video created by Chermayeff & Geismar. I saw this video a couple of years back at a DSVC presentation. It’s stunning. To view it in a cleaner version, log onto their website and under portfolio>motion graphics click on the logomotion detail links. This is well done kids. Enjoy.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESPRb7a1EWU]
Monkeys. Gorillas, Baboons, Orangutans. Simians.
As some of you may know, I’m fascinated by monkeys, all things simians. They’re funny, they’re powerful, they get angry and they can sell/move products.
A few years ago, I had a company called MonkeyThoughts. I didn’t do anything with this so called company except create a logo. I thought it was funny and clever. You can be the judge of that. Couple of years later, it morphed into a more robust endeavor; SimianSoul. Again, it had a monkey for a logo. See for yourself.
My latest fascination with these mammals is an ad done by the folks at Fallon UK. Hope you enjoy. Check out the other ad. Funny stuff.
