Whatever you think of their music, Gorillaz always deliver something interesting with their visuals, and the latest offering "Stylo" is no exception. Looking very cinematic, right down to the Hollywood cameo, it begs the question: where next for the project? Maybe a feature length film?

The London 2012 Olympic pictograms have been released and I think they are awesome! They have been designed by Someone to represent each of the sports and disciplines of the London Games.

There are two formats for each pictogram - a silhouette and a 'dynamic' version. They will be used on merchandise, posters and sign-posts and were inspired by the London Underground map.

Now we are starting to see more of the 2012 brand coming together. I'm really looking forward to seeing more

This week sees the launch of the digital brochures we have designed and built for Oxford University's Said Business School.

The idea was to provide a cheaper, greener alternative to the printed brochure and exploit their online format by using video case studies and interviews to tell the Oxford story, as well as quick links to more detailed info and application forms on their website for those who wanted to know more.

Designed to drive traffic to the Send a Cow gifts site, we made sure that the game was great fun, whilst being simple enough to appeal to all and engaging enough to spread virally. The game allows users to splat the Send a Cow characters in a frantic battle against the clock.

See you on the high score table!

]]> 19/10/2009 http://www.positivenewmedia.co.uk/blog.asp?blog_id=237 Send a Cow Gifts goes live! http://www.positivenewmedia.co.uk/blog.asp

This week saw the going live of the Send a Cow Gifts website - a virtual gift store aimed at relieving poverty in sub-saharan Africa.

Feeling that their old site had lost a sense of play, Send a Cow asked us to to create an effective fundraising tool for their virtual gift proposition, that could deliver on functionality, measurability and engage with varied donor audiences in a fun way.

We used a combination of a Flash front-end with HTML detail and checkout pages so that if people were short on time they could jump straight into the body of the site, get info about the gifts and start shopping, but if they had time to play, they could have a richer experience by exploring the shops and adding the items to their basket from within the Flash.

We're really pleased with the site - have a look for yourself by clicking the link below.
