Morning's roundup of the New York Times web edition
by Amelia Salyers, Concept Developer (27 July 2010)
I just read this profile piece this morning. It caught my eye because it discusses the social media games company Zygna - the star of my blog article last week. This week's article, by Miguel Helft, does a good job of explicating the pros and cons of Zygna's rise to fame and fortune (though, word on the Silicon Valley street is, Mark Pincus and his company is even more of a down and dirty competitor than this article suggests - the world of cartoon games can be ruthless!).
Furthermore, this trend piece, though a bit late to the game, discusses why we Westerners are looking East for our own fame and fortune.
And just for good measure, I thought this little blurb about some recent marketing research about what luxury consumers prefer in logos was interesting, though not exactly shocking. Enjoy!
