My next web installment is now online, and again – thanks to Flickr.
The new research I have started is an implementation of an idea that I had for quite some time.
Since I started doing Corporate Connection in 2003 I had this idea in my head: How can I search for certain logos and symbols based on thier shapes or colours? How can I know which are the logos that have an orange circle and a blue line? Or a wing?
I wanted to find these possible connections between
similar symbols, and now, with flickr, I can do it. By using their tagging option I can add all the information I want to a certain logo and make it searchable through their engine. Its easy and I couldn’t do it better myself, so I am doing it with them…
I’m collecting the logos and uploading them to a new Flickr account, which I opened especially for this purpose. In addition, I attached to the logos the information that Wikipedia has to offer when available.
I’m still uploading the logos of the most common brands, which will take some time. This is going to be an ongoing research and constantly expanding database. I plan to include the logos of the obscure and unknow brands as well.
I’m sure the results are going to be interesting. I hope you’ll enjoy them as well.
