Ok so i am guessing this humble blog of mine has made an impact in someway … or maybe i like to assume it did.

What am i talking about !?

Well.. lets go back in time *chipmunk-like sound of rewinding video* to October last year .. when i made the first of a two part post called ‘Dubious in Dubai’ and i pointed out the fact that the logos of both ‘Cingular’ and ‘Dubai Autism Center’ were absolute carbon copy’s of each other. Have a look again …

No Alterations – No Tweaks. The DAC logo is an absolute dead ringer for Cingular. Now, as the story goes Pixel8 (fellow Dubai Blogger who works within the same group of companies or something of the sort) happened to stop by, take note of this blogpost and apparently bring it to the attention of the management and VOILA!! within 3-4 months what do we have !??

A total makeover = New Logo + New Site !
WOW ! Did i just do that !?? Was i responsible !?? eeks!

– Well whatver be the reason, i think its a wise and responsible move on their part. Corporate Identity, Branding and Copyright in general is very misunderstood and underestimated in this part of the world and its good to see such prompt action taken to rectify such an err ( whether intentional or not )

However, at the end of it all.. i am still left questioning as to which design/advertising agency might have been so stupid to do something like this in the first place !??
