You can always rely on Google to change its logotype for Halloween (or any other less than ordinary day). Along with Google’s redesigned logo I found a couple of others that I actually liked.

Vimeo at Halloween

Smashing Magazine

Google at Halloween 2008

My favourite is Vimeo a simple alteration to the regular logo. Some blogs (such as Thou Shall Blog have decided to make an apt alteration to their design — a nice touch.

However, as you may have noted I have not made any effort to adorn blog24 with such decor. The reason is simple. While Halloween is as popular as ever in the United Kingdom I am not a great fan.

Note: The link to vimeo actually links to a short film of my puppy playing, he deserves a little fame.

“We’ve had the last of the Dambusters, who had a plaque on the top with bouncing bombs, the white cliffs of Dover and Lancaster bombers. And we had an ice cream van man, who had ice cream cones on his. He had the van leading the parade and they all stood round the grave eating Magnums,” says Mrs Tomes of colorfulcoffins.com

There are many designs to choose from including Fly Fishing, London By Night or the Leaf Print shown above.

These days the web offers consumers pretty much anything you can find in regular shops. However, the web is allowing customers to customize products. It has been happening for years, perhaps you have ordered a Dell or Apple computer which you have specified the components.

Recently the sportswear manufacturer Puma launched their MONGOLIAN SHOE BBQ which has the choice of two styles of training shoe and lets you really go to town on making them look individual by using a fantastic array of colour and material choices. This is a far cry from selecting how much RAM and which Graphics Card you want in your new Mac or PC. It ought to be noted that the way it is presented is really pushing forward the boundaries of consumer interaction and this is likely to be a trend that will actually become commonplace with big brands.
