| Lanyrd – Plancast Meets Upcoming For Conferences | Top |
| Look out Plancast and Upcoming, here comes Lanyrd . Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but if it's possible to have a SXSW "tipping point" at an event then Lanyrd just had it at dConstruct , a popular design and developer conference in the UK. So what is it? The guys behind Lanyrd say they are not trying to build a general purpose events site but instead they are just interested in conferences and everything associated with them: speakers, attendees, venues, books, video and audio, twitter conversation, blog coverage - you name it. | |
| Hate The iTunes 10 Icon? Think You Can Do Better? | Top |
| Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ obsessive focus on design detail is at least partially responsible for why the tech sphere and the design sphere are so intertwined at the moment. Which makes the ire that Jobs has received for the current iTunes 10 logo (not to mention the foibles of Ping ) particularly poignant. The universal hatred for this thing has spawned an @BPGlobalPR-esque Twitter account , some pretty impressive suggestions of alternate logos over on design collaboration site Dribbble , and an email to Jobs himself. ValuLeads designer Joshua Kopac : Enjoyed the presentation today. But … this new iTunes logo really sucks. You're taking 10+ years of instant product recognition and replacing it with an unknown. Let's both cross our fingers on this…. Steve Jobs to designer Joshua Kopac: We disagree. Sent from my iPhone Attention Joshua Kopac, Steve Jobs has been reinventing the design landscape since before you were using Mac Paint. HE TOOK A FONT CLASS AT REED FOR CHRISSAKES. But yeah, people love to backseat graphic design among other things, so I’ll tell you what, anyone who thinks that they can do a better job at logo design than Jobs, Jony Ive and team is welcome to have at it. Just send your submissions to tips@techcrunch , with subject line: “I am better than Steve Jobs” or something more clever and I’ll link to and post the best ones here. Because I for one find the more “Metal” iTunes 10 logo kind of cool and I’m sure our readers, nerds that they are, could do way better. Side note: How much do you think sending that “Sent from my iPhone” notification pleases Steve Jobs? I’m willing to bet a heckuva a lot. I’m almost surprised Jobs doesn’t include a * after the “my” as in, *”I designed it, bitch.” Image: Rich Hemsley Update: We’ve got our first post-worthy alternate by Chris Carlozzi. Not sure what the heart on the right is supposed to symbolize, but the rest of it is top notch. And here’s our second by Felipe Hauser.
