The Periodic Table

Posted on March 10, 2010

I found it a while ago. I could not locate the source image or the artist and the location of the periodic table yet. It is the perfect example of art and science, with dash of education and nerdyness.

Logorama

Posted on March 8, 2010

Logorama, the Academy award winning animated short film, is one of the most creative and wittiest shorts I have ever seen. The short is about 15 minutes and entirely comprised of allegedly 2,500 logos and characters from the ads. I didn't even noticed 1,000 logos but watching it over again, I found a few more than the first time. Logorama has witty and sometime crude social commentary on modern logo infiltrated society. Sometimes logo behave like the characters of the products they represents , while sometime they behave like a bad stereotype or even what the logo could also represent. There are many subtle pop culture humor in the story. Among many one of my favorite scene (spoiler here ........ so stop reading if you don't want to know any scene from the short) is Ronald McDonald riding a motorbike made from Grease logo getting way from collapsing buildings made from Logo of companies such as Enron and finally falling over after colliding with Weight Watchers' logo. Classic indeed!
