“P&G’s Old Spice campaign is a textbook example of what the entire company should be doing. The problem is that the entire company isn’t doing it. Check out Mr. Clean’s Twitter stream, for instance. Oh, right—he doesn’t have one.” — P&G CEO To Lay Off 1,600 After Discovering It’s Free To Advertise On Facebook

Mugshot Monday - “All Day I Dream About Coffee” coffee mug with Snow Shoe Brew by Peace Coffee
Dig this coffee mug. Bought it at Seward Coop last year, but they no longer carry it! I know. But then I was able to get it special ordered at Bibelot, because they carry other items by Now Designs. Gave that one to my cousin for Christmas — she said she must have one after I posted a pic of it to Instagram. There is a boy version in blue, but it’s not as awesome.
Also, the painting in the background matches my shirt!

Interesting post on the Pinterest.com logo design process — the new logo was launched May 3, 2011. This was the paragraph written about the image above:

It was uniquely easy to get a good undersatnding of the Pinterest audience. The whole site is a giant dynamic moodboard for its users (if only every project could have that luxury!)  We agreed that the previous logo was already a start in the right direction, and that keeping with a script logotype was appropriate. But there are an infinite number of voices a script can have.

That’s a solid collection of scriptishlu awesome logos. Michael Deal and Juan Carlos Pagan helped with the new logo. It’s a good read.
