As consumers we may not fully pay attention to it but you can be sure you’d be really freaked out if a company logo that you’ve come to know for years and years suddenly reversed it’s tracks.

I mean we almost tie more into brand recognition from a company logo than we do from the products themselves.   So it’d definitely be weird if these logos took on the designs of their competitors.

From Graham Smith of “imjustcreative” comes a cool project of reversing company logos.  Check out the results after the jump….

With all of the photoshop images, cropping, and whatever the hell else they do out there you wonder what people are actually real and who are just made up dolls.  It seems that in some way or another nearly all of us mask who we are when we wake up each morning.

It’s just that some do it way more than others.   Some go to the extent that they are completely unrecognizable after all that make up goes on.

Courtesy of make up artist Vadim Andreev, below are some prime examples of the magic of makeup….

You know what astounds me?  How big the whole “fail” genre is.   I mean you would think that after all these pictures out there of people failing all the time that some might take a hint.

However, I’m willing to bet that plenty of the same people who are observing these fail pictures are failing themselves.   They have to be.

I mean what the hell are these parents thinking?

Advertising is a tough business and in this new age of “online” it’s only getting tougher.   Consumers are getting smarter and are going to great lengths to ignore ads.   Which means one of two things.  Either the advertisers have to get more creative or they have to get more invasive?

But what if it’s neither?  What if they simply made a gigantic blunder by placing an ad in a spot where it was never supposed to be?

That’s exactly what you’re going to see below:  ads placed in the wrong place at the wrong time….

It’s amazing that in these horrible economic times that there are more rich people than ever.  I for one can’t really get upset at some of them.  You know, the ones that worked for it.   All the people that inherited their money, I’m extremely jealous of and annoyed at.   But the fact that these people are out there make things like this possible.

Tropical Island Paradise is amazing project from Yacht Island Design.  It’s an island on a 295 ft (90 m) long luxury yacht equipped with swimming pool, tropical plants and even a small waterfall. The yacht-island can travel at a speed of 15 knots and has VIP suits, spa, bar and dining area on board. There is even a helicopter landing pad.

As I was talking about earlier today, time are tough and people have to do what they can to survive.  While it can be fun moving into a new place and starting a new life, you just never know how expensive things can be.

So in these days you have to economize.   Sometimes you have to sacrifice and get a little creative.   Like these guys did.   Instead of ponying up for new furniture, why not use the resources you used for the move itself?

Check out this fun cardboard furniture gallery….

One of the drawbacks (yet potential benefits) of the fact that the entire world is moving online is that we’re now even less connected to people from a personal standpoint.   Sure we can see their status updates and instant message with them.   But we’re not seeing them or hearing them (unless you do video chat).

THe point is, no one is in the room.  And what does that mean?  It means that truly important things that need to be done in person are now being done online.  Latest example?   People are now breaking up via Facebook.

And I have to say there are some amusing examples…

This is why you just have to love the internet.  I’m guessing many of you never even heard of this story but it’s definitely worth what you are about to see. Maria del Mar Arjona from Mexico was visiting her boyfriend in a jail.  He was serving a 20-year sentence for a 2007 conviction for illegal weapons possession.

The 19-year-old girl brought a large suitcase full of clothes for her boyfriend.  When she was leaving the jail guards noticed that she was acting nervously as she dragged a black, wheeled suitcase to the exit. When they unpacked the suitcase, they found something pretty interesting inside.

Let’s face it, Japan’s been through an awful lot in the last year so I’m hardly here to make fun of the country.  In fact I’m here to praise it as I always have.   If there’s one country I’ve respected for its creativity it’s been Japan.

Honestly I don’t know how the hell these guys come up with some of the media they do.   Granted a ton of it makes zero sense to me but who cares?  It’s incredibly entertaining.

In that light, here are seven more Japanese commercials that make no sense to me…..
