However, over the years, many new puzzle games have emerged, each aiming to take over the crown of the Rubik's Cube.

    Nostalgic Tuesday. Things have moved on heaps in the past 10 to 20 years. If you are reading this in an office, then take a look around.

  5. No Promotional Hand Sanitizer? Make Your Own Instead!

    Hand sanitizers are a product that has become very very popular in the past few years. When the common flu is no longer common anymore, but instead is a dangerous combination supercharged germs and viruses that cause lots of damage and even death, the need for clean hands is more important than ever. Our promotional hand sanitizers are made using an alcohol base with a minimum of 60% content (research shows that anything less than 60% does not provide reliable germ-killing power). However what if you want an alcohol free version? Well here are some tips and a recipe for making your very own hand sanitizers using common products found in supermarkets or around the home.

  8. Branding the Olympic Logo

    The Sochi Winter Olympic Games are on right now in a big way. The Olympics as a modern organisation is big business today and like most big businesses they protect their intellectual property in a lot of detail and they are extremely quick to react to any breaches. We love branding and when it comes to branding the Olympic Games Logo is arguably the most recognised symbol on earth. The process to create such a powerful popular symbol is no easy task. It requires not only having a great design to begin with, but it also requires that standards are met consistently year after year. It is this consistency over time that sets it apart. In fact I cannot even remember if the symbol has every gone through any changes big or small. This is remarkable as even brand names like McDonalds and Apple have gone through changes over the years.

    Logo Branding Policy

    I used the word policy as opposed to guidelines, the instructions for branding the Olympic logo is non negotiable. Either

    Would you remember playing this when you were a child? Perhaps you looked on with Envy at other kids, or maybe you are like me and have got one for your child? Well a gentlemen in England that we can only describe as being a bit of an eccentric nutter called John Bitmean has taken his childhood toy and created a replica. Not just any old small toy replica (like some of the custom branded toys in our range) but a life sized replica of the famous Red and Yellow Tike car. However that is not the best part about it.

    You see this life sized Tike car is actually a real car! It is not just a large piece of plastic with a lawn mower motor either. It is a fully registered and approved road worthy car that travels just as fast as a real
