olyclimber Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 "The OGC is currently overhauling the design of its corporate materials following a new strategy and forward direction. As part of this, the OGC has been developing a new visual identity, one aspect of which is a new logo. "The proposed version, which you have sent over, has been shared with staff, and is now going through final technical stages. It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters 'OGC' - and is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on government spend!" He concluded: "The new identity has been extremely well received, as it presents a very clean, uncluttered and modern identity." Quote

JayB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Another exercise in "framing" and "rebranding" comes to an end.. "The Rockridge Era Ends First, a big Thank You! The Rockridge Institute was founded with a mission: to teach Americans about the role of values and framing in political debate, and to help progressives equalize the framing advantages enjoyed by conservatives. With your help, Rockridge has done more than any small think tank could be expected to do. About 1,000 of you have donated to support our efforts. More than 8,000 have registered as members of Rockridge Nation to engage actively with us. And hundreds of thousands, both in the US and abroad, have bought our books and used our materials. If you are one of those hundreds of thousands, political discourse will now look different to you. As you read the newspapers and the blogs and watch TV, you can see the effects of our work everywhere. Your support has made that possible. For this and so much more, you have our complete admiration and gratitude. Nonetheless, the Rockridge era will come to an end on April 30." :cry: http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/ Quote
olyclimber Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 hmmmmm...might be a little early to declare victory..are they the reason bush's popularity is so low?? and i hear people predicting the demise of Fox News too! Quote
JayB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 One would think that they'd have been able to "frame" the value of their institution effectively enough to persuade people to give them their money or buy their stuff... Seems roughly analogous to the late night "Wealth Coach" guys who go bankrupt. Quote
ivan Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 does this have anything to do w/ our newly revamped cc.com logo? or have i just not noticed the big ass dot-fawking-com thang till now? Quote

Hugh Conway Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 and i hear people predicting the demise of Fox News too! It'll now be called "The Wall Street Journal" EARTH TO RUPERT! REBADGING YOUR SHITTY PRODUCT DOESN'T CHANGE IT'S ODOR -signed pissed off WSJ reader Quote
JayB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Hoping that yesterday's new entry on the Editorial Page is not an omen of things to come. Also kind of worried by Brauchli's (sp?) resignation, the shift away from business news coverage to more general news, and the expansion of the weekend/fluff insert. Say what you will about the entry of women into the work force, but how-to articles on the latest trends in designer office casual *anywhere* in the WSJ is an unalloyed tragedy of the highest magnitude. Most of this stuff predates Rupert by a few years, but... Quote

Most of this stuff predates Rupert by a few years, but... It's the elimination of longer pieces from the front page and reduction of them in the interior that has piqued my ire. They were the reason to read that publication. Guess the Economist/FT is the only one to get my money now. Quote
JayB Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 The Economist has been the last man standing in the glossy arena for some time. Hopefully my worst fears for the WSJ won't materialize and the same wont be true for the FT. Quote
