As long as no one uses that logo to start something associated with gaming it's likely different enough to not cause issue. It's a somewhat common style for horse iconography.

I think that might partially be the point. These seem to be a backlog of unused concept, and the designer has a CTA for custom work below. It's a marketing piece.

What stops you from calling your company Coca-Cola and using their logo?

by awesomerobot 10y ago
Basically this. There are sites out there that sell $20 - $100 logos all over the place.

They're also using models with multiple skin tones (dark vs light), which is a classic scenario for underexposed faces.

It's a bit different if you're prioritizing exposure of different faces based on their attributes though right? If you're taking a photo of a black person and a white person together you're often underexposing someone or

Clearly defined goals (literally write them down on a whiteboard if you can) and a little time management? It's tough. If you've got an hour-long meeting and 30 minutes in you're talking about the color of a button, reestabli

Yes, of course I'm sure the actual work is valuable as an employee... and to say you're working on the Google+ team is to say you're working at Google, which is hugely valuable on its own. I'm more wondering if there&#x2

Banner blindness has ruined a lot of potential multi-column experiences from some basic eye tracking studies that I've done on multi-column layouts in the past. Also... you can make the same comment about hacker news, yet here we are.

I like them in theory, and I agree with you — but original sci-fi pulp with real paintings has a much more authentic feeling to it. That's what I wish they did here. https://www.google.com/search?q=sci-fi+pulp+fantasy&a

What's it like to work on the Google+ team? are they all kind of blindly into it, or is there any sort of "yeah yeah, we know" there? I guess it's an exciting challenge maybe?

I really wish they'd hire an actual painter — the vectorized style emulates a painted style, but seems to lack the quality of what they're trying to reproduce. The astronauts in these posters are really poorly rendered in general

Aren't promotion and partnerships/deals also part of the process? I see that what Blackbox does accomplishes some of the scale factors — but it's all about the logistical layer and not really about the service layer (as you m

There are plenty of ecommerce sites doing the mobile/desktop split generally well (and making millions of sales in the process). HN is literally text-only.

I'd argue that it's more effort than running a popular distro like Ubuntu because the hackintosh knowledgebase is generally a lot smaller.

After running a Hackintosh for about 6 months a few years ago I became convinced that they're not really for budget-minded Mac enthusiasts, but for people who enjoy maintenance and troubleshooting. Unless you're on a tight budget

I'm a designer and my experience with small scrum teams has more or less been the same - a lot of the issues are handled by developers who are given some agency to self-manage and who are half-decent at doing so. I've only worked

Amazing that so much thought goes inside the adapter, but they still manage to completely skip any worthwhile stress relief on the cable ends. One of the reasons I know how to solder wire is because I got tired of buying a new adapter every

Good points. A 7-day duration would be hopefully flexible enough with everyone and would be the most easy to implement.

I tend to disagree. Boston is one of the most expensive cities in the US to live in right now — we have a low housing inventory at the moment, and it's incredibly frustrating to see someone buy a property with cash, develop it, and the
