With great reviews from all corners, the Dark Knight is all over the news. Heath Ledger as the Joker seems to have overshadowed the Batman. Man I’d to go watch it, but the all the weekend shows are booked :(

Haobam.com upgraded to WordPress2.6. Quite a smooth ride upgrading from v2.5, unlike the last time.

Brands… Rebranded

Jul 15, 2008 Author: haobam | Filed under: Design

In the past few months, some of India’s leading brands goes for a brand makeover. Major retail store Lifestyle and Shoppers Stop changed. Shoppers Stop now boldly says ‘Start something new’. The ‘Born tough’ tyre brand CEAT goes for a more streamlined logo and the poor rhino is nowhere around. Godrej group of companies, now has a dash of color in their font logo.

Indian bank Canara bank rebranded to a more upmarket color. Joining in, UTI Bank morphed from its old school logo to a more jazzy AXIS bank. I guess they felt the need to stand up to the competition of the multinational banks with an image makeover and a better brand positioning.

Has anyone thought about the AA in Anil Ambani’s Reliance logo. Think about it. Sometimes it could be that dying need to make the presence felt.

Vista Blues

Jul 8, 2008 Author: haobam | Filed under: News

If you’re a Windows user like me and wondering if Microrsoft might leave you high & dry when they recently stop selling Windows XP from June 30 2008. Well the good news is they’ll be supporting XP till 2014. So thats a good 6 years, and considering the next OS Windows 7 (aka Blackcomb and Vienna) is expected in another two years time. Who know Vista might be history.
