Happy……Thursday

A few updates (well 6 actually)

1. Yesterday was a public holiday here in Germany, so sorry things were a touch quiet. Pete and I have spent the whole morning answering mails and clearing through the entries, in total theres about 100 new logos for your viewing pleasure, so get commenting :)

See them all http://olp.spreadshirt.net/entries/category/wk6entries/

See the ones that initially grabbed us in the wk6picks http://olp.spreadshirt.net/entries/category/wk6picks/

2. What else is new……..Hum, well on Tuesday I gave an OLP update in our company meeting. I showed some of the great ideas you’ve all come up with. It went really well, we laughed a lot at the funny entries like Your Own Territory or Nelsons Superhero series, which was really popular.

I also showed the labelheads flash creator and demo’d it by making the lovechild of two of our employees Mr Kops of IT and Kolja Hebenstreit who runs our Direct to Consumer business.

Became

I bullied everyone into taking an idea sheet to jot down some rough sketches for logo ideas which I’ll show here on the blog in the coming days.

3. Ami and I will travel to the US tomorrow. First we’re both giving talks at MIT at the World Conference on Mass Customization (which is what Spreadshirt offers, allowing everyone to make a unique product). Pete will hold the fort german side, we’ll still be around and blogging but there might be some delays, but as Jesse and Leah and now helping nothing too major. We’ll also talk about the OLP at the conference :)

4. Its always nice to get mail, a few days ago this package arrived. What could have been in it? This was our first specifically OLP labelled mail. Perhaps a million pounds, or tickets for a round the world cruise? Any of the thousands of things I’ve lost in the past year? Nope, a cd! What was on the CD? A photo of a million pounds? A photo of someone one a round the world cruise? A photo of all the things I’ve lost in the past year? Well you’ll just have to scroll and see….

A logo! Who would have gussed, yep this one:

Thanks to Gerard Holmer for taking the time to mail it in, and for the work that went into his immaculate presentation! The entry is here http://olp.spreadshirt.net/entries/2007/10/04/youre-the-target/

5. Remember we discussion wildcards now here, stop by and leave your picks from the first two weeks.

I guess thats all the news I can think of right now :)

Happy Thursday.
