Office Logo & Apple’s Command Key [Conspiracy]

Has anyone noticed the design similarities between the MS Office Logo and Apple’s Command Key? I thought it was kind of interesting. Maybe it’s a conspiracy…oooh…

Bloopers from Sunday School Students

• Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients.

• Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the Ten Amendments.

• The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.

• The Seventh Commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.

Why Sherwin-Williams Should Change Its Logo

Today is Earth Day and seems like the trend of becoming greener and greener will become more and more popular. People are becoming more environmentally conscious or maybe is just all a conspiracy, I love conspiracies. Companies of all sizes boast about how their businesses are environmentally friendly, from Chipotle’s restaurants decorated with recycled materials from construction zones to recycled paper products almost everywhere.

However there seems to be one company who doesn’t seem to care much about the eco-friendly movement, have you ever stopped and noticed the Sherwin-Williams Logo? It features a can of paint about the size of the moon pouring red paint all over the planet, notice how the planet is on its side too, what is that supposed to mean? and the slogan “Cover The Earth”. Yea, I know…their intentions its not what I’m thinking but I think it was quite ironic in these “green” days that such a large company sticks to their not-so-eco-friendly-lets-destroy-the-earth-and-paint-everything-red logo.

I also found it really interesting that they talk about their logo on the green page in their website, maybe I haven’t been the only one noticing this. I love what it says though:

“…the logo’s purpose was to represent the company’s desire to help beautify and protect the buildings of the world. It was a symbol of a young company’s enthusiasm, idealism and hope…”

Come on! Give me a break…that’s the last thing I think of when I see that logo, can someone help me actually see that in the logo? and what are you trying to say by that anyway? that we should all be painted red in order to be beautiful and protect our buildings? Geniuses.

Life Lessons From Uncle Noah

What we can learn from Noah…

ONE: Don’t miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you’re stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Demolition Gone Wrong

A recent demolition of a 200 foot building in Sioux Falls, SD didn’t go as planned. Looks like they will need a second go at it. Those South Dakotans!
