When you grow up can you loose your letters?

I am a big follower of Armin Vits BRANDNEW and being a designer that often has to re-brand a client I turn to this site to see what everyone is doing. Recently AOL announced they were dropping the mark and going with Aol. as the new logo type

The new AOL brand identity is a simple, confident logotype, revealed by ever-changing images.
It’s one consistent logo with countless ways to reveal.
Tim Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOL.

Now following the way of Aol. at&t will move from its updated (Saul Bass original) to a name dropped from the logo look

like nike and apple. Does this degrade from a brands look or make them more friendly?

Projector Technology

As projectors get smaller and less expensive we will start seeing more mobile animation like these.

Pepsi Interactive The Deckard Cooler

Looks like Pepsi is rolling out a interactive screen for SXSW with a projector by Pepsi’s Equipment Innovation Team.

Reminds me of the cool screen I see across the street from me at Hornall Anderson
