That’s right, we made a list of tools to help you clarify what you really want, the products out there that can give it to you – and the ones that will always work best for you. With the constant release of new products everyday on the web, it can seem like a true challenge to find what you need. Especially if you have more niche needs, like open-source software.

Cut down on time wasted looking at poor options (or worse, buying and then regretting the decision) by navigating reviews, questions, and condensed comparisons instead.

Unsure where to start on this journey? We’ll help. Just click through the read more and prepare to be ready.

Animated logos have become for 2017 what negative space was for 2016. They are a new way to catch the eye of consumers who are used to a digital space that is constantly evolving, moving, and gaining speed every day. Animated logos push a brand forward in a fun, inventive way.

Part of our work right now is making a working model of a new animated logo for Jakks Pacific, a toy company for kids and those who are still kids at heart. Because animation is something that speaks specifically to their target demographic, Jakks will be able to use their logo as a bridge to their audience in ways that other companies cannot.

Want to be there for the big reveal? Follow Jakks Pacific on all their social media to keep up for when it’s revealed:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Instagram

You can also follow this link to see some examples of other animated logos.

We’re trying a new thing where, every month or so, we update you on the designs that interest and inspire us. The hope is that you’ll get a bit into our heads, while at the same time getting to look at some truly exciting designs.

This month’s picks have to do with everything from cold brew coffee to IKEA bots. Excited yet? Don’t deprive yourself! Click through that read more.

So what has changed between the Twitter of yesterday and the one of today?
