We're currently just working on the final touches to an identity which is generated by audio taken from the environment the client works in. We developed an application that creates patterns based on different frequencies within the audio being read. Here's a sneaky peek of how it's looking.

Wow - this looks pretty awesome.

Great packaging from Archer. Love the chicken!

Work commitments always got in the way of use doing something with all the great flicks from StickerNation so instead we've upped them to Flickr for everyone to enjoy.

So go enjoy 'em!

We’ve just been made aware of a wonderful review of the “Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource” by The Earthly Paradise and I have to say, we're pretty chuffed.

“It really offers a unique opportunity for art lovers across the globe to see these works "up close and personal" and I think the site will generate a lot of tourism once people see what the museum has to offer… Of course, nothing can replace the experience of seeing these works in person, but this new website does get awfully close.”

After all the prototyping, designing and intense data processing, it’s great to receive positive detailed feedback from the actual target audience; lovers of Pre-Raphaelite art.

Big smiles all round.

I quite like Veer's image selection policy. This time a wonderful collection of strange childrens book style illustration by New York artist, Jesse Kuhn.

Not sure how long we are going to stay there but TAK! are featured on the front page of the flagship Microsoft website Silverlight.net with their Art Collection Viewer from the new Pre-Raphaelite website for Birmingham Museum and Art Galleries. 

I was very excited to find out that a trip to the Kent coast coincided with the launch of test runs of the new service linking St Pancras with the Kent coast.  The High Speed One line was built to carry Eurostar in super fast times to Paris but, unlike on the French side, you were not allowed to board in London and get off in the same country which meant the only option was the super slow local service.  The new line is something to be truely excited about as it's the first line to be built in the UK in... well ages.  All investment usually goes into boring safety upgrades so it's nice to see something like this going ahead to finally bring Britain into the 21st century.  I won't go on about this but France, Spain, Japan and China have been investing in super high speed trains for ages and their benefits are clear. Anyway here's the link to high speed one:

 Anyway - about the journey - i filmed the whole 37 mins from London to Ashford but I won't put that here..

Quick first impressions: 

• it's going to cost a bit more, but not loads - I paid a 4.40 surcharge on the 29 quid journey. 
  
• The new platforms are lovely at St Pancras. 
  
• You can feel the G-forces when accelerating and the leaning when turning in these Japanese trains (Hitachi). 
  
• 20% of the journey is in tunnels as you exit London and as you go under the Thames near Dartford.  
• We did make it to the olympic site in 9 mins as promised by the government
  
• The interior of the train feels cheap and rattles a bit. 
  
• A can of beer makes the journey very enjoyable.
• High speed trains are the future of UK travel

This is what I really want though: roll on ultra speed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Ultraspeed
