Get Blog Posts As EmailsHuffington Post had a slide show of the worst paint jobs on airplanes today. I must admit some of them are pretty incredible and some are pretty awful. While planes might be a different advertising medium, I think a more subtle approach is necessary for the skies. Like a beautiful sunset on an Isla Palenque [...]

Tourism Campaigns
July 2nd, 2010 by TimIntelligent Travel, a blog on National Geographic Traveler, had an entry today on Tourism Campaigns Gone Wrong and it got me thinking about the Panama tourism entry I wrote about a few weeks ago. I believe that the Gulf of Chiriqui could be an extremely popular eco-tourism destination if Panama promotes the area with a [...]
Literal Green Washing
June 11th, 2010 by TimI love seeing new canvases used by advertisers and “reverse graffiti” does just that! A recent New York Times article highlighted GreenGraffitii, a Dutch marketing firm, who is cleaning the streets through advertisements.

Panama Campaign Will Never Leave Them
May 28th, 2010 by TimLast year, Panama launched a new campaign with the slogan of “Panama Surprises” to replace their “It Will Never Leave You” campaign.

Airline Logo Designs
May 21st, 2010 by TimI was researching some airlines for an exciting new project that we have coming up and started noticing that Panama airlines incorporate their cultural connections into their logo designs. The first logo I found for Aeroperlas doesn’t relate its design to Panama much besides the use of blue, but it only has flights within Panama [...]
A Green Marketing Friday
May 7th, 2010 by TimAnd its Friday again. With Spring coming and going in Chicago, the weather isn’t that great and we’d all much rather be on a sunny Panamanian beach. Despite our Spring Fever, the Marketing Department is working away at preparing for the upcoming site expedition and surfing the web for the latest green news. So, here [...]
Follow Friday Green Tweeps
April 30th, 2010 by TimSeriously, where does the week go? I’m pretty sure that Friday was here yesterday but, it was actually seven short days ago. I’m spending the day in a thought provoking and educational Google AdWords seminar which I highly recommend for anyone working in marketing. Anyway, I decided to do green tweeps today. While there are [...]
Happy Earth Day!
April 22nd, 2010 by TimAs many people know, search engines tend to change their logos to reflect anniversaries, holidays, birthdays and other special days. As a graphic designer, I enjoy seeing the creativity and changes involved in blending a well-known logo and an event. Google is my personal favorite for search engines, e-mail, RSS and beyond. This year, they [...]
