The Intel Years and the annoyance of Yahoo! Controlling Flickr

I‘m finally back to work on few of my favorite things:
logotypes, corporations and research.

As I said in the Previous post I started making a searchable database of logos. I’m adding the different logos, and also trying to do it by groups.

While researching on the Intel Corporation I found that there are a lot of logos for their brands which have big similarities with small changes. So the decision (with the help of my girlfriend) came to make a small poster with all of Intel’s logos.

The poster consists of Intel’s branded logos from the 286 processor appeared in 1982 up to the latest rebranding of their corporate logotype and processors marks. The new logotype mashes Intel’s’ name with the much known “Intel Inside” mark. The rebranding occurred as Intel released Viiv (for entertainment and media PCs) and Core Duo (which is now inside Apple’s new MacBook Pro).

News: Soon I’ll need to move Logophile Compendium from Flickr.

I thought it will be easier with them but YAHOO! Are making it hard. Today Flickr introduced something called Community Guidelines and they have a list of DOs and DON’Ts…
So – Pages that have not enough pictures are not aloud (meaning: no diagrams, no paintings or illustrations) and because Logophile consists of uploaded images which are not mine, they banned my site from their Search section.

It is still possible to get there in a direct link, but it won’t be shown for people from the main page.

So now, for this reason and others, I’m scouting for another system to hold my database.
