When Marketers Get Bored

Remember, I’m a marketing major at Clemson, so this isn’t totally random. Lately we’ve seen a plethora of logo redesigns from major national brands. Tropicana, GAP, PUR, Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, Caribou Coffee, Holiday Inn, and the YMCA have all created new logos recently. Unfortunately, Tropicana and GAP’s new logos were so poorly received that the … Continue reading →

Just Let Me Stop Caring

Clemson hasn’t won a championship since I was two years old. I finished my last semester of class at Clemson and got an awesome internship at Definition 6, a unified marketing agency in Atlanta.

Annoyed at the World

That’s $25 million per year for six … Continue reading →

Album Review: Alter Bridge – AB III

Three years after their explosive release of Blackbird, a time period which saw a Creed reunion and lead singer Myles Kennedy performing vocals for Slash, the hard rock and alternative metal band Alter Bridge finally got back into the studio. The resulting product was AB III, a loose concept album that displays some new elements … Continue reading →

Venting On Clemson

Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips’s emotional, passionate, cool, trendy, thoughtless, easy, and wrong hire of Dabo Swinney is looking worse and worse as Dabo once again led Clemson into a road environment and left winless. Alumni Stadium in Boston was quiet and half empty just like Clemson’s offense. Props to Kevin Steele though whose … Continue reading →
