Dalí and Chupa Chups



I am going to start to randomly give pieces of useless information. Today:

Dalí was the designer of the Chupa Chups logo.

In 1969 Dalí was approached by Chupa Chups to design a new logo. Dalí incorporated the Chupa Chups name into a brightly coloured daisy shape. Dalí suggested that the logo be placed on top of the lolly instead of the side so that it could always be seen intact.

- Voy a empezar una serie de entradas dando información totalmente inútil. Hooooooy:

Dalí fue el diseñador del logotipo de Chupa Chups.

Fue en 1969, y aparte del exitoso logo, Dalí también fue responsable de la idea de poner el logo en la parte de arriba del caramelo para que así fuera siempre más visible y no se deformara.

South-on the top-worldmap





I made a post about Peters projection map (this), but really my first intention was show you a map with the South on the top. Now I have found two in one.

I disagree with the term "inverted map", I think is only another example of the way of thinking of the northern-occidental...

Hyperactive!!!!!!!!!!!!


This video obsessed and amazed me when I was a child (well, and now...) perhaps it is only because... their heads are made of pixels. - Este video... lo recuerdo desde pequeño... una y otra vez en un programa que creo que se llamaba Número 1.

fuck fuck fuck... fuck




I am pretty sure that the three English words that I have use the most are "fuck", "you" and "the". In the video I show a representation of the two first... the movie Scarface reduced to its essence. I also recommend to see the complete movie... that tells the story of how Tony Montana becomes a rich a powerful man - Scarface en España se tradujo como El precio del poder


 Do not miss the 00:51, for me the part that give sense to the video...

Madoz



If you do not know Chema Madoz... you are lucky, because you just met him... and his photos. I think that is the best photographer in the world. He is able to express so many thinks in his photos... I find it amazing. Here you can find more pictures inside his webpage... I strongly recommend a book (the second) about his work from the collection "Obras Maestras" of La Fábrica, a Spanish publisher. I think that this book can be an excellent Birthday present, 1 out 27...

- Si aún no conoces a Madoz, estás de suerte... lo acabas de encontrar, a él y a sus fotos.. Es mi fotógrafo preferido. Es capaz de expresar tantas cosas en sus fotos... no puedo describirlo... Aquí, puedes encontrar aún más fotos. Recomiendo otro libro (el segundo) sobre su trabajo. Ha sido publicado por La Fábrica dentro de su colección "Obras Maestras". Este libro puedeser un mágnifico regalo de cumpleaños... 1 de 27...
