Brand Spotting...The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

It may be image size. I will change it.

Speaking of that … is that a “moderator” feature/privilege, or can anyone do it (aside from photoshopping and reposting on flickr, photocbucket, etc?)

It sure is a pain in the arse to post a 2200 x 3100 image, not to mention a bit embarrassing. Hyperlinking is an option, but tends to remove spontaneity when reading through a discussion.

Some old and new stuff from Crayola. I really love the old traditional design.

Not sure if this fits the topic, but… here’s something I saw the other day in central Stockholm. Yellow Lambos are so 2006, but you could see everyone turning heads as it was going down the street because of how contradictory it was to put a ski box on a matte black Lambo. Oh and yeah - it had a big logo on the side of the car. I’m not sure what the brand was but I know I NEED it.

edit: did some googling, apparently it belongs to a skier Jon Olsson, and it’s not his first! I mean I’m not into skiing, but I’m currently watching him on youtube and have read 3 interviews. Is this how to build a brand?

This is a Nabisco aisle I saw in a grocery store. This was really cool. It took up one whole aisle in the store and was design to give a home kitchen feel. Notice the recipe boxes, refrigerator, and fake butcher block counter tops.



I know this may be a bit cheese, but I thought it was clever.

That is awesome. That is one hell of a way to promote your brand. Not sure what he does, but that is one way to get you brand noticed. A little pricy though.

I only see images in some threads if I’m logged in. While in others I see them logged in or not. This one required me to log in to see the images.

(sorry for being off topic)

Those Kleenex boxes are great! The whole idea of a tissue box is cheesy so why not have a little fun with it. It’s summer after all.

I love in the Nabisco kitchen how there’s a little pamphlet titled “Healthier Living” next to a bucket of Easy Cheese…

Are you proposing that Easy Cheese is not healthy and/or cheese?

Hey I love squirting that stuff directly into my mouth as much as the next guy…

<gags at the thoughts of that

I like my cheese moldy and smelling of old socks.
Sorry, off topic

Yes I’m embarrassed to even post this. And I’m sure they weren’t even paid to do it. :cry:

That is hilarious. Always good to know what flavor you hair is.

I wonder if the cuffs and collars match ? :wink:

Sorry… kind of

In flavor or color?

Ouch.

Can you not see images unless you are logged in or something ?

I find that I must be logged in to view posted images.

I thought this was a cool and clever package.

Clever yes. But it isnt beautifully articulated in Guerlain’s typical fashion. If it didnt have the Guerlain written on it I would have thought it was a cheap Sephora lipstick despite the chrome. Its a bit gimmicky for such an established sophisticated luxury brand.

I don’t know if these really belong here, but I thought the branding and graphic designers in here would get a kick out of it. These are as the Thedieline.com say “unique, artfully designed fire extinguishers”.

Those are frick’n sweet. I would absolutely put a fire out with one of those. I think I would prefer the graphic treated extinguisher over the newly designed one that Arnell did a few years back.
