THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR IN LOGO DESIGN (INFOGRAPHIC)
When designing a logo for your business, it’s important to take into account the way people interpret color. It’s the right time to ask, what kind of emotion do I want my brand to convey?
This infographic from Logo Company, a logo design firm, helps clearly illustrate what emotions are invoked by certain colors using the logos from top brands as an example. Psychologists have studied how people are affected by colors for years and found a strong correlation between colors and emotional responses, further driving home the point that choosing the right color is crucial in determining how your brand is viewed.

Cost of Living on Mars – fun infographic!
I’m a huge fan of infographics. I’ve covered the topic for some time now –in my other blog.
So this one jumped out at me as a fun/fine way to look at how space exploration and space science might deal with the life on Mars question –given our fascination with the 4th rock from the Sun. One year’s supply, for instance is estimated to cost $13 million on Spacex ($42 on NASA). That’s transporting it and storing it thee.
The infographic was created by an outfit called Neo Mammalian Studios.

The Report Card: Social Media in 2012
The 2012 Report Card is out. And what can we learn (or gain) from this? Social Media silently overtook most of our lives. Instead of reading the morning papers, you get news being fling in your face (whether you like it or not). In a way, we are getting smarter (and more aware) as no matter what sort of news are being thrown at us, we still tend to read at least the headline. Now that’s a good start to increasing your General Knowledge.
So, the big 5 of Social Media is on the shelves again. It has been a topsy-turvy 2012 for these 5 giants, Facebook’s IPO, Twitter overtaking Facebook, Pinterest appears out of nowhere and not forgetting Instagram’s TOS issue. They all had it good (and bad).
To be honest, I have all 5 of the major players. But what role does it play in my life? Personally…

Curiosity Touchdown — Infographic
7 Minutes of Terror
On August 6, 2012 NASA scientists held their collective breaths while a one-ton projectile hit the thin atmosphere of planet Mars carrying a scientific rover that while launched only that past November, had been the focus of their professional lives since 2004. They would not know for approximately 7 excruciating minutes if those years of dedication, hard work, and testing had been for naught. We now know that with a collective cheer, they realized their apprehension and fear was unwarranted as the Curiosity rover has been exploring the surface of Mars since that day and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
Via futurity.org, this is the journey the rover took on those harrowing 7 minutes from first descent to touchdown on Mars:

Being a parent these days I believe is way harder than what my parents had to deal with. It’s like all the normal growing pains of kids is amplified by technology. And I’m not just talking about teenagers because obviously that can be a whole story of its own with drama spread via social media. Look even younger 6 mos to 5 year olds.

Sure the technology is cool, but does that cripple the growth, and health of kids because maybe their accustomed to choosing a gadget rather than playing a game? The numbers in this infographic reflect the truth and is quite alarming. Nice days seem pretty quiet when their aren’t any kids out playing….
If you’re a parent what do you do for a balance of tech and old school play?
