Bollard in a supermarket at night, helpfully painted black and 6″ shorter than it needed to be in order to be visible. Stupid design, really easy to do, and bloody annoying.
Me too , reversed straight into one at sainsburys – had no idea it was there. Made a right mess of my car, took it on the chin
i don’t doubt it Brant – once upon a time 120mm was the perfect do-it-all bike, then all of a sudden 120mm was an XC race bike. I love the look of the EG, but I cant see myself building one up light without throwing a fair wedge of cash at it though? and TBH I dont think I need 150mm. I really liked the mis-matched set up you develped with Ragley though….
love my scandal 29er – the finish on the paint is a bit rough, but it rides great and was very affordable. the only thing they can do to improve is release a 130-140mm travel susser that can be built up to around 28lbs without remortgaging -i’ll have 2 of them 🙂
When they start producing one that looks as timeless as a 911 with decent performance to boot ill be interested. Sadly I can’t ever see myself having 30+ thousand to spend on a car
bumped into a lad on a 514 on sunday, he was after a 314 but couldnt get one for love or money, so a local shop did him a belting deal on a 514 instead
New tyres makes a huge difference IMO – don’t have to be expensive ones either – and a damn good clean including all the nooks and crannies you normally don’t bother with
+1 for Leon FR – love my petrol DSG, although interior does feel cheap in comparison, however the fact that I got a newer car with less miles on the clock – and it was over 100 quid cheaper to insure swung it for me.
Horrendous running costs and prone to flooding. You’re recommended you run it it for a minimum of 6 minutes everytime it’s fired up. Look great though 🙂
That Dolphin bloke sounds a bit pompous as if he thinks that “Design & Art Direction” is some special skill that takes years of study and qualifications.
If I was a plumber I’d be quite happy with that logo.
My point exactly – mr one man band plumber isn’t interested with an in depth analysis of how I arrived at the solution for his identity, or what it says about his business. He wants something that gets him noticed. However large corporates who have marketing teams that are constantly managing the face of the business in a marketplace are. Yes there is a lot of bollox involved, but no more than in any other job

I am sure the “code” or “language” is there for those who can read it – however it is not an inherent quality and most of us don’t read it and don’t care.

Fortunately there are people in this world who do care and have vision and more than a one dimensional view of things.
Very good article here for those that are interested – as a professional I certainly wouldn’t churn out a logo for peanuts. A good logo needs careful thought, however someone who just wants something that looks ok on a business card isn’t usually prepared to pay full a brand identity.
