ASDA Launches New "Smart Price" Logo

Just a thought - but is it just me, or does the new logo for Smart Price...

...look a lot like the current (and has been for a while) logo for Walmart's "Great Value" brand?

You know, just saying.

And yes, I know Walmart owns Asda. That's the point I'm making - that they're slowly trying to turn Asda into Walmart without anyone noticing. Just you wait - in a few years, "Asda Smart Price" will become "Asda Great Value". Next, the word "Asda" will fall off the logo, to match the Stateside counterpart. The rest will be a slippery-slope-esque gradual p-take from there... ;-)

Oh, and while we're on the subject of Smart Price, don't forget Valentines' Day is coming up... or should that be Value-tines' day?

CES Roundup

CES was amazing. It's so much bigger than I thought it would be, and I'm sure I could have walked around for days and still missed bits!

The Windows Phone team and the other VIPs were so cool. It was great to spend time with people on the same level, the same agenda, and the same level of nerdiness as myself.

Seeing Steve Ballmer's keynote was really good too - it was a real eye opener to find out what's next on the Microsoft roadmap, and how it all ties in to the bigger picture.

Thank you so much to all the VIP team for cooking up such a truly memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'll never forget.

New Business Cards

I just wanted to show off my new business cards.

I hope they give the nerdier amongst you a chuckle :-)
