Super cool 360˚ video.

Footage from 6 cameras is combined to make one streaming video file users can zoom and rotate 360° around in. This technology could have huge implications in taking virtual reality to the next level. Wow.

I never get tired of these videos. Especially the ones with paintball guns and explosions

I thought it was getting stupid at the end, but the girl saved it.

Guerilla Typography

New York City designer Cardon Webb is doing his part to rid the world of illegible and badly designed flyers and posters and replacing them with typographical masterpieces. Love it. I want to do this...

These babies got skills

If there's one thing I've learnt it's...

Join The Republic of Everyone in "sharing the love" at onethingivelearnt.com, a campaign design to ask:

"...key people in sustainability, green, ethical and design and innovation industries what they’ve learned about how they can make the world a better place. (They) hope to assemble the collected wisdom in the space and then share the love around."

On the surface... looks like a great cause. Dig a little deeper and you'll also find quite a clever self-promotion.

Boxers or Briefs?

Very clever... took me a sec to figure out the visuals.

Copy reads:

"Prostate cancer? A blood test will tell you.
The early detection examination for prostate cancer no longer takes place where it would be expected. A simple blood test in the crook of the arm suffices. Preferably early on. Ask your doctor and gain information on www.prostatakrebs.ch"

Bottle Sounds

I predicted this concept would be copied by advertisers almost 3 years ago:

Canada's Top Ten Most Iconic Brands

...as voted by Canadians in Brand Finance's survey:

10. CN Tower

I'm struggling with this one. Although it's certainly iconic, I have a hard time considering the CN Tower a "brand"... but I suppose you could make the argument depending on the criteria.

9. Via Rail

8. Petro Canada

7. Montreal Canadiens

6. Toronto Maple Leafs

5. Air Canada

4. CBC

3. Tim Hortons

2. Canadian Tire

and the winner is...

1. Canada Post

A pretty good list that I mostly would agree with. I'm sure you could have some good discussions over the order of the top five, but all in all, I think they got it right. I also think it's so awesome that two of the top brands are hockey teams! Truly Canadian!

Here's the complete chart of the top 25:
