Londoners to Tweet ideas for a logo to promote the capital
Sep 2nd
You may remember a post I wrote last year about London not being sexy compared to New York…. well it looks like the Mayor of London has finally decided to finally commission a sexy logo for our awesome city – better late than never!
Boris Johnson will be spending £600,000 on the logo to be used globally in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games and a shortlist of six design firms will be drawn from more than 450 entries after tomorrow’s deadline.
One of the firms in the running, Moving Brands, are using Twitter to invite the public to take part in More >

But is it really the case? Do British consumers really have a ‘relationship’ with their phones? The only way to find out was to conduct a little market research of More >
