Follow-up: Starbucks Rolls Out New Identity

16 Mar

March 8th, 2011 marked the 40th anniversary of Starbucks. It’s also the day when the new “STARBUCKS”-less Starbucks logo and identity went into effect. As part of the anniversary, Starbucks is also introducing a new coffee blend, called Tribute, and a new range of sweet snacks called Starbucks Petites.

The first place you’ll probably see the new logo is on the cup of your favorite beverage. It could be a while before the signage in your neighborhood store is changed – it takes a while to update 16,500 stores!

Overall, I think this redesign is a step in the right direction. For those of you who aren’t sold on the new mark yet, just give it some time. As you start to see it out in the world, hopefully you’ll start to appreciate the simplicity and elegance of the new design.

Like Dislike Stamper Set

Each stamp has enough ink for 5,000 impressions and measures 3″ x 2.5″.

Even better than Facebook because it has the much desired 'Dislike' feature.

If sound designers had the capabilities in the early 80s that we have nowadays, who knows what awesome nextgen sounds there might have been in games?

New Comment System – Disqus

7 Mar

As some of you may have already noticed, I have switched over to the Disqus (pronounced ‘discuss’) Comment System. Disqus makes commenting easier and more interactive.

Disqus Comment System

The new comments system provides commenters with quite a number of advantages:

  • The ability to edit your comments
  • The ability to sort comments, at your option, by Newest First or Oldest First
  • The ability to share your comments by Twitter & Facebook
  • The ability to subscribe to individual comment threads by email or by RSS. If you subscribe to a thread by email, you can reply to comments in that thread via email.

Logging In To Comment

To comment, you’ll need to log in any one of several ways.

If you already have a Facebook, Twitter, OpenID or Yahoo! account, you can log in using any one of those by clicking on the appropriate linked button for each above the comment box.
If you don’t want to use one of those, you can also create a Disqus account. All you need is a valid email address for verification.

Hope you guys like it.
