a day in logos
Last November Niki Brown (@nebrow) posted an article about her day in logos. Inspired by this post it took me almost two months not to forget to start taking pictures of things I do from the moment I got out of bed and started living (it’s really hard when you are busy doing your daily things).

Started the day wearing my favorite t-shirt, try to see it as my little lifesaver.

Like most I can’t start a day without coffee.

Since @ferdikoomen and I live in the same house, we ate breakfast together: a nice banana, apple and orange smoothy.

Did some sketches in a new sketchbook. One of the few logos on it is from a friend’s F16 squadron.

We found out that Ferdi stayed in Austria without any legal papers during our brainstorms since his passport had expired.

My old phone (finally got an iPhone) with a picture of an exit sign taken in a tram in Amsterdam. I keep getting slammed by these exit gates.

This will most likely be our new MonsterHQ. We plan on moving early next month.

Since we came late we missed the first speaker, so here is the second speaker at the Dutch Adobe User Group. He was talking about interactive PDF forms… yawn!

No clear logo present but we did see one of the worst Flex GUI’s ever!

During the break we went upstairs (to our future collaborate workspace) to get some coffee. One of the most awesome startup companies sitting there at the moment is E.

Another startup called Haas. They make software to help children learn to read.

Awesome presentation by Rick Williams (@rickwilliams) from AKQA about Fiat Ecodrive. Ecoville is their online community.

Back home, many Dutchies prefer Belgium beer, so do we!
24 Jupiler

Since we got back late and all Dutch grocery stores close at 8, we combined the Jupiler with pizzas.

In short, you have just seen a day of a Monster life!
