Not to say the original Gap logo was good, but it was iconic and well-recognized. Here at Design the Planet, we are not surprised that Gap ventured off to a new logo because their classic logo was getting a bit stale. We never thought they’d come up with something so generic and off-the-wall. (Actually, according [...]

Creatives: Get Up and Get Out
October 6, 2010 – 10:25 am
We are spending more and more time on the internet. Does this mean, then, that we are becoming more independent and isolated from the masses we tweet to?
U-Tube?
August 27, 2010 – 8:01 am
Earlier this week I received an email about a client asking me if he should post a commercial on U-Tube. This proceeded to tell him it is YouTube and that it wouldn’t hurt to have his commercial on the social media website and that it would actually make it easier for us to post the [...]
Social Personalities
August 24, 2010 – 7:58 pm
If you’re a Facebook user then you probably are a fan of a few Facebook pages (I know it is officially known as “Like” pages, but I refuse to succumb to their vagueness. Long live “Fan” pages.) Lately, I have noticed a few of my favorite Fan pages doing some great things and others, some [...]
Congrats to Facebook
July 22, 2010 – 9:32 am
Congratulations are in order. Facebook recently registered their 500 millionth member. I wonder if Facebook threw that person a party like the grocery stores used to do for their 1 millionth customer? Wow! The United States only has a touch over 300 million citizens according to Google Public Data. In a recent article on US [...]
Happy Birthday YouTube
April 23, 2010 – 11:11 am
We would be remiss, if we did not say Happy Birthday to YouTube. The video giant is now 5 years old. It’s been a busy spring with Facebook hitting the 6 year mark in February. YouTube and Facebook are two of the major players in the Social Media/Web 2.0 movement along with LinkedIn and the [...]
When Technology Can Go Horribly Wrong
March 17, 2010 – 1:43 pm
I found this article on cnet.com about a new technology start-up, Flinc, being pitched at this years Demo Spring Conference in Silicon Valley. The concept is this: Flinc users A, B, C, D, and E all have this app on their smart phone. Ideally, there would be hundreds of people using this app in each [...]
Another Milestone in Social Media
February 12, 2010 – 10:02 am
On the heels of Facebook turning 6 years old, LinkedIn hits another large benchmark. On February 11, LinkedIn announced their 60,000,000 member. Not sure what that exactly means. It means more and more people are going to LinkedIn to find employment through via networking and more people are doing business through LinkedIn. This also shows [...]
Happy Birthday Facebook!
February 4, 2010 – 3:45 pm
It’s hard to believe that Facebook is just 6 years old. Where were we before anyone ever heard of Facebook or MySpace? (It’s okay, I hardly remember as well.) I hope you enjoy Facebook and other possibly other social media avenues to reach out to old friends, disconnected family members and even your spouse, but [...]
12 Great Ways to Use Twitter to Your Advantage
July 3, 2009 – 6:58 pm
So, you’re ready for your very own Twitter account but still don’t grasp how it’s used? Maybe you’re one of the many ‘tweeples’ that already has a Twitter account, but can’t fathom what to write (tweet) about. Maybe your buddy/co-worker is giving you flak for having a Twitter account and you need some ammo to [...]
