Best and Worst Logo Redesigns

    14:37

A cleverly collected list of logo redesigns, the best and worst of them. I agree with most of the assessments, but I’m undecided on the Pantone logo. To me, the old one wasn’t very good, and the new one seems slightly better. Honestly, I think Pantone has bigger problems than their new logo. Missing from [...]

Big news for fans of Gmail and standalone email clients: IMAP support. What’s that you ask? Well according to Wikipedia:

Tillbaka Till Samtiden (Back to our contemporary age) is the title of the 7th studio album from swedish band Kent.

The New Ubuntu Wallpaper

    09:10 ,

The new default wallpaper for Ubuntu Linux v. 7.10 has been picked. It’s an abstract rendering of light stripes in a brownish hue. Much like previous previous Ubuntu wallpapers, this says “Ubuntu is brown”. It’s nice to see wallpapers getting branding recognition among mainstream operating systems. Maybe it will prevent us ever getting the awful [...]

Newscope Part 2: The Mini-Extreme Makeover

    21:46 on October 13th, 2007 , , ,

When I decided to go freelance, I could have chosen to sell my services from another domain, separating personal from work stuff. There are a couple of reasons why I chose to keep things here at Noscope, the first and foremost being that keeping things here was the quick and easy thing to do. Secondly, [...]

Interaction designer Alex Faaborg has emerging details on the visual refresh that’s being worked on for Firefox 3:
Visual integration with Windows and OS X is our primary objective for the Firefox 3 refresh.
Fitting in to the visual appearance of the native operating system may seem like a reasonably obvious decision, but it certainly isn’t one [...]
