You know your brand is in some sort of trouble when you get genius comics Like Dan and Dan writing brilliant skitts of what you do and tearing apart everything that your hateful, petty minded, bigoted brand stands for. Nice one Dan. And Dan. Love it.

Bic is one of those brands that is easy to belittle or even ignore. As they are doing most of their work in the lower end of the markets they address, it is easy to overlook them as a real brand. But I’m going to put my reputation on the line and say that I think they are a quite remarkable brand and many others could learn from them and what they do. I wish them many more successful years.

I’ve just seen this article written by Champagne Jane on the Purple Circle Blog and I love it. In my opinion, this is the best ad of 2010 (so far). The guys at Specsavers do consistently brilliant work and should be applauded for it.

I read a great post from my friend Brian Cray earlier today about how sloppy designers are becoming in their thinking when it comes to design.It got me thinking. Long live original thought, long live original design and long live clients who can tell the difference.

I don’t know much about the brand of the band Ok Go, but i do love their video work and i’m now off to get a listen to some of their other music. If it’s half as coool as their videos, I think i’ll be a new fan.

The Sandpit from Sam O’Hare on Vimeo. Not much more to say really, other than the fact that I saw it on my Mate Tim Garratt’s blog and loved it so much I had to share it even further. If you want to see how he did it, have a look here.

If the Tories go on to throw away their lead in the final vote and we end up with a hung Parliament or a Labour victory, the David Cameron poster campaign will have to take some part of the blame. In the same way, in 1979, the very famous ‘Labour isn’t working’ poster was credited with having a huge part in winning the General Election for the Tories.
