It's time for all the tech giants to stop wasting their time and money on developing fitness watches - they are so passé. Any keen fitness fanatic will know that each and every fitness watch or wearable is slightly bulky and just a little bit annoying when exercising... Enter Tech Tattoos - it's only in the planning stages so make sure you check out our range of personalized temporary tattoos while you wait.
Developed by a US based start-up called Chaotic Moon, the temporary tattoo aims to mimic the popular functions of a wearable tracker such as the Fitbit. However, unlike the wearables we've come to know and love (kind of), these ''Tech Tats'' are minimally invasive to your daily routine, workout or whatever else you do with it.

Since it's release about a week ago 'Pokemon Go' has literally gone viral. Only available in the US, Australia and New Zealand, the popular 90s game has FINALLY arrived on your smartphone and given its worldwide cult following its not a surprise things have taken off so quickly. Trouble is, with so much data and battery usage you'll need your own powerbank to keep playing all day!

Over the last few years adult colouring has become somewhat of a craze. The relaxing, therapeutic benefits of the activity have inspired hundreds and hundreds of complex coloring books across the globe and the popularity itself has caused a pencil shortage. At Cubic Promote however, we still have heaps available and you can brand them with your logo here.
You'd think that the new trend, which has seen pencil sales spike in 2015 by 26% compared to a normal YOY growth of no more than 7.2%, would be fantastic news for the pencil industry. However the stationary companies like Faber-Castell and Stabilo are struggling to keep up with demand. A rep from Faber-Castell told the Independant:
What shall we have for dinner? Stir Fried Husband? How about some eggs with Wikipedia? Doesn't sound too appealing to us either...That's why its so important, no matter what language you are translating to or from, you always triple check before sending off to print, be it for promotional giveaways or logo for your business - especially in business where a bad translation could cost you customers.

Since the 1960s sun tanning in the Western world has been on trend. Throughout the 70s and 80s sporting a deep, almost sun burnt, tan was very stylish. Since the 90s, especially in Australia, we've learnt the hard way about the extensive damage long stints in the sun can do your skin and health. Keep your employees and clients protected with your own branded promotional sunscreen.
Gone are the days of omitting sun screen in favor of a fast and deep tan. We now know that that hot, sensitive and painful redness of freshly sunburn skin can have long lasting effects like skin cancer. Additionally to the risk of skin cancer, being sun burnt is extremely unpleasant.
Even the big brands can struggle with maintaining an appealing logo design. Take for example the poorly received 2016 logo from popular app service, Uber. Their original "letter U" logo was easy to spot on your phone, but the revised rider and driver versions (particularly the rider - below) were met with disdain upon launch.
Gone was the easy to understand letter U, replaced with a far more abstract design not out of place with a banking institute or similar. Don't worry it can happen to the best of them (that's why we have a list of great tips and ideas). Critics were not impressed with the following three logos, all of which take the whole "ugly logo" thing a bit too far.

Everyone knows that a company logo is the window into its soul...so to speak. Or rather it is one of the most important factors of a company's marketing plan. The big name brands we know and love didn't always start as they are now and the reasons for their change are obvious: they weren't memorable. Whether your logo is printed on business cards or custom made stress balls - make it stand out! Simplicity is key.
Let's take a look at some household names, then & now!
We've all seen them, and it happens in every language. Common phrases directly translated and then not making any sense, or perhaps making very clear but rude sense. These hilarious t-shirts are additionally heightened by the inappropriate people who wear them. Below is a compiled list of our favorites...I couldn't bring myself to post any rude ones, so the list is 100% PG.
