BP Logo Contest... and these are the shocking results

17/6/2010

 
Over the past few weeks there has been a lot of talking about the “BP Oil Spill” that happened in the Gulf of Mexico. It is considered as the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. Many people think that BP is handling the oil disaster badly, so to show the frustration LogoMyWay  has made a contest where people can send in their redesigned BP logo with a “more suitable design”.

There have been made quite a few creative examples like making BP rather stand for Bad Planning and Big Problems. Some have even used animals as inspiration and created logos with birds or whales trapped in the oil.

Unlike this contest with negative logos, an artist has made illustrations of how things would look like in “the perfect world”.

Underwater Free Fall

Free Fall is a video made by the freedivers Guillaume Néry and Julie Gautier. You can see Guillaume doing a base jump into Dean’s Blue Hole. They say it’s a fictional and artistic project, they wanted to show another approach to freediving videos. Even Julie, who filmed everything with a Canon 5D Mark II, hold her breath the whole time. The result is awesome.

Rainbow Eucalyptus – Nature’s Painted Tree

1/5/2010

It might look like someone painted these by hand, but the only artist responsible for these living works of art, is Mother Nature.

The incredible looking Rainbow Eucalyptus is the only species of eucalyptus that grows in the northern hemisphere. It can grow to impressive heights, of up to 70 meters, and it is normally grown for its pulpwood, used to create white paper. There are many other interesting facts regarding Rainbow Eucalyptus, but the obvious question arises: why does it look like it’s been painted?

The secret behind the Rainbow Eucalyptus is actually pretty simple. The trees shed multiple patches of bark every year, but not at the same time. As the patches are gone, the green inner bark is exposed, and, as it matures, every new patch first turns bluish, then orange, purple and maroon. This creates the rainbow effect that makes these trees so nice to look at. Rainbow Eucalyptus can be found in New Guinea, New Britain and the Philippines.
