The next online revolution?
The wonderful thinkers that brought to the world the phenomenon of Twitter have been doing some more Good Thinking and have come up with possibly the next revolution in online paying technologies. Square is a new piece of hardware which you can plug in to your iPhone and turn it in to a Credit Card reading mechanism to accept payments for a range of transactions.
Branding at the next level
Every now and then, someone with a big budget listens to a creative thinker, and some magic comes to life! Coca Cola in association with the launch of the AVATAR movie managed to brand just about every angle of a 767 Webjet plane at the beginning of this year. Erick Dikastro was lucky enough to see the actual plane while travelling through his home of Brazil in January and managed to get some photos of this impressive sight. The design company who pulled the project together captured the event on camera, and can be seen on Youtube. Pretty cool viewing!
GWD Sponsors Wrap Off
At the 2010 New Zealand Sign and Display Association conference and awards in Christchurch this year, the inaugural New Zealand "Wrap Off Challenge" will take place. The concept has been borrowed from the 2009 International Sign Expo where a range of entrants will get a set time to apply a full vehicle wrap to a supplied vehicle. More is to be revealed at a later date, but the event is already shaping up to be a beauty with a lot of entrants expected. Check out the 2009 event on Youtube.
