GUYS: MAYBE IF WE RELEASE A VERY CONFUSING AD PEOPLE WILL THINK LEBRON IS NOT A DOUCHENOZZLE.

Not an amazing spot but sort of interesting that Stoli went for including a web developer in their “Would You Have A Drink With You” campaign. Other (real) celebrities in the campaign include Hugh Hefner and Julia Stiles.

Careerism

Ad Pulp points out that the Portland Creative List has 37 job openings right now. There seems to be the most demand for web developers. Unsurprising to me as I can’t seem to find any good devs.

Careerism, Economic Meltdown

The star of this Jack in the Box ad is Jack’s dad’s boner. Who’s ready for lunch?

That’s right, Microsoft hired the Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa, to help launch their improbably named Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. I’m not sure the beefcakiness really translates to the tech-market

Not to be outdone by Gap, News Corp’s MySpace has unveiled a new strikingly bad logo. The idea isn’t all bad. MySpace is about whatever you want it to be about. I get it. However, your logo should include, at minimum, your company’s name.

It shouldn’t be surprising that MySpace is trying *everything* they can think of to reverse their current traffic trend. But I’m not sure this is helping.

Creative, Trends

Whatever reasons originally motivated Gap to redesign their logo no longer matter. The free press has been worth whatever it cost. Who had even thought about Gap in the last 10 years? Remember when swing music was real big?

Yes, the new logo is bad.  But really who cares? Apparently lots of people, to wit: millions of dollars in free PR

• Hundreds of designed-for-free logos on 99 designs
• The Crap Logo Creator
• Fake twitter account number one, number two
• More free logos on urlesque
• I’m sure that local TV news programs are now picking up on this story right about now since they’re always about a week behind the internet.

So congrats Gap, you have proven again that you are more than boring khakis that make news, you are also boring crappy logos that make news.

Great take on one of the real reasons people don’t join a gym. It’s intimidating!
