Peanuts Perspective

Ha! Out of all the 3D perspective pavement artwork kicking around at the moment, this is currently my favourite.
Tron Watch
Posted by: | Comments
Seems I’m posting a lot about Tron at the moment. This will probably intensify as we get closer to the release of Tron: Legacy
Anyway, came across these watches that have been heavily influenced by the neon lights of Tron. The outer ring is the minutes while the inner ring is the hour, simple.
I think at the moment these watches are just a concept. If someone did go ahead and manufacture this watch, I would love a green one…
Thanks to TokyoFlash for the heads up.
Laptop Stickers
Posted by: | Comments
There are many laptop stickers you can buy for your Macbook that exploit the ‘glowing Apple logo’ but this is one I’d give serious consideration to ‘buying and applying’.
The Justice League of America – brilliant!!!
Only gripe? Shame it’s not Batman at the front with the glowing logo.
Hat tip to The Unofficial Apple Weblog for uncovering this gem. The sticker is available from Stuck Off Decals.
Superhero Cake
Posted by: | Comments
If someone gave me this cake for my birthday, I’d be SUPER CHUFFED!!
It appears a lot of time and effort has gone into researching the characters for this cake, not forgetting the time to actually bake it and sculpt the icing sugar!! You wouldn’t get one of these from your local Greggs.
Who can be the first one to guess all the superheros featured? I’ll give you a clue… Batman is at the top.
Holy Bat Logo

Really interesting article on Forbidden Planet’s blog about the evolution of the Bat Logo.
I’m sure if someone had the time and was willing to go through all the Batman publications – this graphic collection would be much larger.
Gelaskins
Posted by: | CommentsI own a Blackberry (don’t laugh!) and I’m not due to upgrade my handset until at least February next year.
So, I was quite happy to do anything to my boring-looking Blackberry to make it appear more attractive.
Cue Gelaskins!
These guys produce funky stickers you can wrap your gadgets up in. They have hundreds of pre-designed stickers to choose from or you can design your own and upload them.
I decided in this instance I would choose from Gelaskin’s library. I picked the eBoy’s ‘Baltimore Docks’ (see below).
iTunes 10 Logo
Posted by: | CommentsI’m really surprised about the amount of flack Apple are taking for their updated iTunes logo.
What’s wrong with it? Looks pretty good to me. Plus, it’s visually consistent with the iTunes logo on the iOS devices.
The problem is, Apple have become so big in people’s eyes (in particular the media), that everything they do nowadays is scrutinised with a microscope. Just look at the media furore surrounding the recent ‘Antennagate’ issue. You don’t see Sony getting that much negative media when they recall yet another batch of laptop batteries.
Looking across the dock on my Mac, there are dozens of app icons down there that are worthy of a stern critique.
