Brands of the World

Today is going to be a more functional design post.  I learned about this website at my last job, and I think it is a must for any designer.  It is called "Brands of the World," and they have a database with vector art or pdf art of various commonly used logos that might be needed for jobs.  It is also a good database to search when looking for inspiration.

One Sentence

Found this website today called "One Sentence: True Stories Told in One Sentence."  Thought it was an interesting idea, and it is amazing the emotion you can convey in one sentence.  Some of my favorites:

"I knew God had a sense of humor when I hesitantly answered the ringing K-mart payphone, only to hear my best friend, who misdialed my home phone number, on the other end."

"When asked to name the one person absent from her life that she missed the most, she responded, 'The person I hoped I'd be by this point in my life.'"

"It was one of those exams that you absolutely must pass if you want to continue in this program, and I failed the set-your-alarm-clock-properly portion."

"From the moment her arms wrapped around my chest and her head found its place on my shoulder, I knew beyond a doubt that I would never think of five feet as too short ever again."

Where's George

Got this written on one of my $5 bills the other day - its called "Where's George" and allows you to input the serial number on your bills to see where it has been in the past.  Mine was pretty much new and only came from a few miles away, but you never know!
