Moving Brands have worked on plenty of identity projects. The agency portfolio is worth a browse. A "lawsuit happy society". That sums it up, Jon. Now, where can I ignore "wet floor" signage and get me that cool 5 mil? Yes, Jessica. Moving Brands have worked on plenty of identity projects. The agency portfolio is worth a browse.

A “lawsuit happy society”. That sums it up, Jon. Now, where can I ignore “wet floor” signage and get me that cool 5 mil?

My favorite are the injury lawyers. Whenever I see one of those commercials I hear this in my head: "I was recently involved in a slip and fall because ins pite of the fact the sign was written in both English and Spanish, I could not comprehend what 'Caution: Wet Floor' meant and fell on my bottom. Because of my bruised ego and sore bottom I got $5,000,000 thanks to (insert blood-sucking lawyer name here)" Jacob: I guess it comes down to what you have available to you. Like when I would visit my friends in Toronto I would take my laptop but almost never use it because we were always doing something from being out on the town or just sitting in the kitchen and talking. I would only use it to check e-mail, maybe write a post on my old LiveJournal, and stream music off Rhapsody. Other than that it was off. Here at home I get so bored I can refresh CNN about 5 times in a minute for something new without realizing Im doing it.

And I do admit I do go on the Internet while traveling just to check in on my blog's comments and urgent emails but that's all. I never take my phone, that's for sure! Jon,

They also create logos for companies, right? Hi David,

Nice link, too. I'd not see that music vid idea before. Kate, I'd love to see how Moving Brands explain it to their clients. I'm sure their design process is one I can learn from. I've browsed quite a few of the quotes from that site, Claudio. Some great ones, and another nice idea for a site. Jacob, it's Cockney rhyming slang, and comes from the term "butcher's hook", for "look". For some time now, Jon, I've been disgusted by what people will "claim" for. There are far too many TV ads for these "no win, no fee" lawyers who prompt us to claim against employers, against our local councils, against anyone, so they can earn their cut.

And in some cases you may not have a choice. Here in the US we are seeing the rise of people suing their employers because of the prevalence of this "always on, always connected" world society we have created companies are expecting their employees to be at their beck and call 24/7 and in some cases on an unpaid basis. NBK: Amen. Reminds me of a lecture I had in my Intercultural Communication class where the instructor mentions when we're kids we are supposed to be getting ready to go to school. When we are in elementary school we are supposed to be getting ready for middle school. In middle school we are supposed to be getting ready for high school. When we get to high school it is all about college prep. Then we hit college and it is all about choosing a degree program and working through it. When college, be it undergraduate or graduate, ends it is on to find a job and establish a career. Once we have the job/career we now need to start thinking about retirement planning. Essentially, at least in the US, we spend the first 60 years of our lives looking into the future and letting the moment pass us by.

And certainly, we do live in an "always on" world. A great way to counter this is to travel - leave the laptops and phones at home. Also, "worth a butchers" is this an Irish saying?

As grim as it sounds I’m a big believer that brands need to change and adapt in order to survive. Technology is with out question changing our industry. I wrote a post on this video I found that talks about advertising and how it relates to social media. It’s the easiest explanation I’ve heard so far. Check it out: http://ocondesign.com/?p=713 David
