Walmart’s New Logo Still Loading?
In an attempt to
update its once-dowdy image, the new logo for signs and building facades includes white letters on a burnt-orange background followed by a white starburst, according to an artist’s rendering that the company filed recently with planning officials in Memphis, Tenn.
In addition to jumping on the burnt-orange bandwagon, you may notice a missing hyphen. Yep, just like your Executive Secretary who thought it would be fun to keep her old name and her new name. Walmart is ditching the hyphen in the name of modernization. No more tricky special characters for them. Bring on the Unicode world.
Is it just me, or does that thing look like the infamous radial loading icon seen everywhere?
My Pal Schools You…
Three cheers for Andy McIntosh, who’s just completed this ground breaking tome: Creating Visual Experiences with Flex 3.0. It is literally “hot off the presses” and is expected to ship before Thanksgiving.
Get your learn on this holiday break, and then quit your job to make sweet, sweet visual experiences. I can’t wait to see The FWA after the kiddies devour this…

Lookie there, it’s a stencil critique for the crappy tags in your neighborhood. Document your dislike so that punk-ass tries harder next time: “Hey tagger, go back to art school yo!”
