Free Magenta!

Check out this article about T-Mobile apparently owning the color magenta so that no other telecommunications companies can use it.

"Don’t worry trademarks only apply to the industry sector that they are registered under and since DT applied for their trademark in the tele-communications sector you just can’t use the color magenta around anything to do with phones, digital media… oh and just about anything on the internet."

And also check out this site (in German I think?) about "freeing" Magenta.

Ballsy Ads

Bold advertising for Alma Magazine is getting a lot of attention. I'm weary about posting a swastika on this blog let alone allowing it to represent my company.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I just don't think the message is strong enough to warrant the use of this symbol. The other two ads aren't as heavy and I think they work better.

But if they want some attention, this is definitely the way to get it.
