Kuler than cool!

Adobe Kuler

I recently stumbled across this fantastic time-saving product for designers called Adobe Kuler. It’s a web-hosted application, providing free colour themes that can be used by anybody.

World-famous brand evolutions

I came across this site whilst doing some research – it’s a concise look at the evolution of some of the biggest and longest-running brands’ logos over the last 100 years or so. Must have taken this guy some time to collate all the different logo forms for each brand, but it’s resulted in a very useful overview. They’re all here, Apple, Walmart, Nike… Amongst other things, I can’t believe Canon haven’t changed their logo for over 50 years! And unlike their now renowned simple and slick logo (and business ethic), Apple in fact began with an extremely complicated original logo back in 1976.

Obama Claus

Beat the credit crunch and surf the zeitgeist scoring yuletide points along the way.

Well dont worry… Because this year, thanks to Firedog, and of course, Mr Obama himself, we have designed a “make it yourself” Christmas hit thats dead easy to follow and is designed to use your employers printer, paper and ink.

So what are you waiting for? Get Christmas crackering!

Give Blood, Get Better

It’s a fair deal. You give us just a drop of your abundant creative juice and we’ll give you a nice piece of work for your book.

Firedog is a killer young agency of eight years. We focus mainly on brand conception and corporate identity and design for print (a.k.a. brochures etc) but also dabble in digital media and web.

We tend to punch well above our weight class, as the Firedog team is among the best the industry has to offer, and we’re not a bad bunch after hours either.

We’re rather established for our age, with a solid list of clients. Our latest work is always our best, but with a little of your blood, sweat and coffee, it promises to get even better.

We’re looking for quick, on-the-money, mentally agile and conceptually well-endowed designers that are just the business – minus the attitude if possible.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, send your CV through to the dogs of fire. We look forward to being impressed.
