Mission Possible: LOGO/ Identity relevance

Nordkyn Logo, New
Two municipalities — Gamvik and Lebesby — have come together to promote tourism to the peninsula and worked with Oslo-based Neue Design Studio to create an identity that, literally, reflects the nature of this destination: Visit Nordkyn.

The visual identity is based on two main ingredients; our newly developed payoff, "Where nature rules," and weather statistics from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. A feed of weather statistics affects the logo to change when the direction of the wind or the temperature changes. On the website, the logo updates every five minutes. We developed a logo generator where Visit Nordkyn can download their logo to the exact weather conditions of that particular moment. Nordkyn is truly a place where nature rules, even over the visual identity.

The icon itself is deceivingly simple, with a single point that stretches in the direction the wind blows, giving it the appearance of extensive flexibility that, when paired with the muted rainbow of colors, makes it feel infinitely mutable. The typography goes almost unnoticed but provides just enough personality to make the logo feel scientific and official.

Grey Stockholm moves their entire site to Facebook

I hate to make it sound predestined but I can say that I saw it coming! Brands are moving to Facebook (social media platform) and ditching known / familiar WWW .

I always thought a startup / small/ home business can do it but a BANK and a key advertising agency ..that’s a first and I hope many to come.
I think an agency can claim that they are innovative but Grey saw it as inevitable and moved to Facebook following simple philosophy /strategy “We want to be where people already are, and 2.5 million Swedes are on Facebook, so that's why we have moved our site to Facebook”

Too much SM leverage ...Banking services via Facebook


I always said that social networks would be able to host any content or service, and I know some "banks 2.0" (see Prosper and wasabi), but a traditional bank that migrated the answering service, for example, a social network, is a big surprise.  ASB Bank of New Zealand.
In the bank's Facebook page, surfers can speak to employees in real time via a private chat.Still possible to request information about bank loans, savings, and learn how to make currency exchange rates for travel.
The bank guarantees confidentiality of conversations and provides care seven days a week from 8 hours to 21 hours. 
One last thing, for those who in the process of starting a website.. think again??
