Bee original, please!

Recently, Neogen.ro has been rebranded and changed its name to Neobizz.ro. Well, not really; one of the websites is now known as Neobizz. The new logo is, of course, a cute bee. Cause bees go "bzz" and they are very hardworking.


A few days ago, 100eyes.ro was launched. The logo? Another cute bee. People, whatever happened to being original and creating new stuff?

I wanted to write about this so I Googled "bee logo". Surprise! The Internet is full of logos depicting a bee. Buzzy bee, spelling bee, cute bee, everything bee. Yes, they are cute, and yes, they look nice in yellow-and-black logos, but can you at least try to bee original?

ON/OFF coffee mug

IWOOT has this cute ON/OFF cofee cup, which is OFF and black when empty and ON - and white - when filled with our [well, at least my -] favourite liquid, coffee.

When full of piping hot nectar the cup turns white and is emblazoned with the word ON in black letters, and as it cools it turns black and clearly screams OFF at you in white letters. In no time you'll be trained to know exactly how dark the mug can get before the contents becomes undrinkable. It's the mug that keeps you posted on the toastyness of your vital cuppa, sheer brilliance.

It can be yours for £15.99. Buy it here.
