Today over at BRAND NEW (a fabulous site that shows before and afters, as well as sharing of opinions of corporate re-branding efforts) there is a great post about Valentines Day. If you live in one of the countries that celebrates this holiday with all the pink, red, chocolates, and roses… You’ve seen some tasteful Valentines “things” but moreso MANY untasteful, ugly, and tacky Valentines things.
A few of the writers of BRAND NEW took on the challenge of Redesigning Valentine’s day. They tackled the Heart as an icon, the color pallette, as well as Cupid.
Below are the new “Cupids”…

What do you think about their effort? Like it or hate it, cast your vote here!
I often say if you found out your local ‘favorite’ was closing people would flock there. As a ‘local’ business hoping to be a ‘favorite’ how do you convert this love into attendance. The language of The 3/50 Project really resonates with this struggle and communicates the idea without being combative with larger national business. The Elephant is loved but its always great to see him jump to the little mouse. Don’t sell out, buy in, en 2010!
You are at Gamil (as opposed to Gmail). We are a graphic and product design firm in Raleigh, NC, and we've been around since 1995.
A few years ago, we noticed a remarkable amount of new traffic. After doing a bit of research, we realized lots and lots of Gmail users were getting ahead of themselves when typing and ending up visiting us instead of their email account. So we started a blog to say "Hi!"
Feel free to stick around for a while — and return as often as you like!
