Judge for yourself whether the new look is a good or a bad thing, but I've put my vote in the title of this post.

RIP... please?

He's in a much better place now... wish I could say, he lived a good life.

Some remembrances:

He was my grandmother's first internet experience, if you know what I mean ;)

What a rat bastard.

And another:

One cannot say the death was quick, and without pain, but remember we shall the many times IE6 was part of our days.

And:

IE6 was known as a friend, but also as an enemy to many of us. He was a tough guy, always around, even if you didn't need him. And that is exactly how I remember him. As someone who never gave up: Deep inside he must have known a lot of browsers were better than him, but he kept on fighting against them. More and more enemies came to make his life difficult, but with the support of Microsoft he was staying in everyones life. His strong charism even made lot of webdesigners and programmers program code especially for IE6. That must have been very special to him.

Let's remember IE6 with those thoughts... Now it's time to move forward: Life goes on... even without IE6. Thanks (for dying).

THE OLD LOGO

I stopped watching MTV about 100 years ago, roughly 80 years before the channel completely gave up on playing music videos. It seems that the cable broadcaster has revised its logo, completely divorcing itself from the notion that MTV has or even has had anything to do with music.

Because I can't resist posting any stupid Helvetica-related thing to the DA Blogspot. And I like the word.

I'll try to be more substantive next time!

Nice Illustration, H.!

looking for clients in your spare time?

Bring them to you via Brandstack. Post your design, set a price, and lie in wait... and wait... and wait. Or maybe not. I have no idea. But it might be worth a try, considering how many organizations could use a good idea -- and designers who could use a little extra cash right about now...



How often do you get to create the business name and the logo?



How often do you try to sell something you create on a whim?



About Brandstack:

So we built Brandstack and invited designers from all over the world to sell their unused designs at a price that start-ups can afford. An entrepreneur can browse the brands on the site, choose the one that suits them, get it customized by the original designer and download the files. Itʼs quick, value for money and some of the brands even come with their own domain names for a great head start. All brands are original and removed from the site once sold.

The process is still collaborative but the entrepreneur says goodbye to the brief and in return gets a world-class brand at a rate they can afford and the designer gets paid for a brand that was previously sitting idle.

Brandstack. Everybody wins.

Really? That would be refreshing.
