And illustrates why the new ‘Bing‘ logo was such a tremendous horror.

The goal of the site design was an increased focus on brand to demand, and a way to interactively show the Omniture Online Marketing Suite. This was accomplished using a new JQuery javascript, and a tiered rollover design. Also new are a person-based offer box, and multi-tabbed Brand box area. Site is tagged with 8 Mboxes for using Omniture Test&Target.

While the goal was increased Brand and design, the new site actually offers MORE areas for demand—63 links to offers in total!

There are a few nice things that I have noticed immediately.

Option palette now more usable, with an easier to click drop down. The previous one was impossible to select:

Photobucket

Tabbed windows in all application. Cmd + Tab now cycles through all windows, in every application.

Photobucket

I will post more later as I find them.

We always do a unique, custom illustrated card that highlights a new technology each year. This year we acquired several companies that now allow Omniture to help companies create custom campaigns targeted at individuals. My concept was to show Santa using our products to provide a better gift experience. I came up with the idea for the card, and created the preliminary sketches.

The initial comps were sent to Ben Simsonsen at 8Fish who created the second round of colored comps, and J.C. Leyendecker created the final artwork.

I then laid out the final piece in Adobe InDesign. Printing Resource in Lindon did 1,500 on Cougar 100# uncoated cover, with matching envelopes.

To avoid unnecessary tears, we’ll avoid talking about the new Photoshop logo…

It is a good read for any one interested in creating iconography, or just general GUIs.

It includes a comprehensive ‘News Center’ full of recent articles and discussions about the candidate, a nice forum for discussing the issues from the upcoming elections, and a ‘Leaderboard’ to encourage creation of teams and networks in an effort to stimulate teamwork and participation. Everyone who registers is encouraged to get involved somehow where they feel their talents could be utilized.

Feel free to register and see what all the buzz is about. I realize not all are of the same persuasion as me, but I hope that everyone can enjoy or appreciate grassroots efforts from people that are passionate about their country and beliefs.

It seems to be developed for optimizing mobile applications or design. In the era of Web 2.0, I wonder how long it will be before companies really start optimizing and tailoring their online marketing efforts specifically for delivery on mobile devices?
