running with paper

Now there’s a nice turn of phrase. Those have been catching my eye lately, but I’ve been a bit too scattered to capture them.

Randomly:

One thing that caught my eye lately was light bulbs in an elevator; sixteen lights in a grid, reflecting off of the silvered doors. What did it look like? The Wachovia logo. I wonder where people get their inspiration for logos sometimes. Right after Wachovia changed their logo (or invaded your state, ymmv), they were soon joined by incontinence pads; I even saw the same color scheme and swooping lines theme gracing the walls of a local company going through yet another logo/look redesign.

Kind of like how that big red “easy” button from Staples was everywhere for a few years; now it’s died off again except for Staples. I suppose they (or the other red button users) paid a lot for it; I suppose with the extra investment in action figures, Staples figured they’d better hang onto the campaign.

Though as far as action figures go, they’re pretty lame. Maybe I should break into a few of them and record my own message …
