Graffiti of the Future

Check out the 2012 London Olympics logo, also here.

IT IS GRAFFITI, it is different, the 'establishment' hates it ergo, they must have done something right ;)

The reaction is hysterical. Check out the negative press (just google it). News reports have compared it to everything ranging from "a monkey on a toilet" to the nazi 'SS symbol. It even may be the first logo ever (olympic or otherwise) to come with a Health Warning.
There's even a campaign to have it changed.

I have nothing against the 2012 logo, it showcases the disruptive power of Graffiti. And if you don't like it skrbl your own free variant on our graffiti board (the original cost $800,000/-).

Personal notes

We switched on the 'private' feature today.
With a simple check mark on your 'My Account' page, you can switch any of your skrbl sessions from public to private (and vice versa). Other users cannot 'join' a private skrbl session. It is your personal skrbl and accessible only through your login.

My skrbl is open all the time (naturally!), I organize my information across sessions but I also have one session that I use as a scratchpad (conveniently titled 'scratchpad' :). I use it to take down phone numbers, tasks, messages,... any little scrap of text that I need to remember. No scrambling for pen & paper, and as a bonus I've cut down on my 'stickie' habit.

The notes are on skrbl so I can always get my hands on them, and my scratchpad is flagged 'private' so no one else can.
