Friday 5

online-branding-Friday-5Like many social media-obsessed people, I’m an avid blog reader. My iGoogle RSS Reader overfloweth! So I thought I’d share the love. Here is my “Friday 5″; online branding blogs, marketing, design, and creative ad blogs that deserve some props.

  • Post Advertising: Great Ad news complete with snappy commentary. Always a fun read.
  • Ad Age: Editorial content, columns, news, blogs. Respectable content.
  • 300&65 Ampersands: An ampersand for every day of the year. Beautiful, puzzling, inspirational.
  • Brand New: A look at logos, before and after re-designs. Who doesn’t love a good before/after story? Regularly updated, and readers can cast their own opinion votes.
  • Design Mind: Well-written articles on design. Interesting topics, great photos, enough said. Also occasionally includes “Writings in partnership with GOOD Magazine on the subject of design and social innovation.” Always interesting.
