This is a personal project to experiment with rebranding a global company.
Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd. has been the world's largest information technology company by revenues since 2009. They have long been a major manufacturer of electronic components such as lithium-ion batteries, semiconductors, chips, flash memory and hard drive devices for clients such as Apple, Sony, HTC and Nokia. In recent years, the company has diversified into consumer electronics and is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones.
I have deigned Samsung's new logo to move their branding into the new 'wireless' age of technology. Many branches of their traditional product portfolio rely on internet/WiFi connections (i.e. computers and smart phones). However, as we move forward, other household goods are becoming more intelligent and reliant on WiFi technology. This results in the strengthening human's relationship with the wireless world.
The new logo softens the typeface and a symbol has been added to increase branding versatility. The symbol can be used with typography or autonomously. The merged 'U' and 'N' introduces a unique appearance to formal sans serif type
Federal and state transportation policies have done more to reinforce socioeconomic inequalities than to correct them.

Beyond Access Member teams representing twelve countries in Asia and Europe gathered in Indonesia to share their successes, challenges, and visions about the role of modern libraries in their communities. Participants came from vastly different countries in terms of culture, level of development, and political environment. Yet they shared many of the same challenges, and more importantly, they shared a commitment to the role libraries play in their communities.

NTU’s International Development Office Africa and South Asia team invited international students on a day trip exploring the British countryside.
The day featured a visit to the Heights of Abraham, at Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. The Heights of Abraham is one of the oldest tourist activities in the Peak District and features a stunning underground tour of the Masson and Rutland caverns, where the students got to learn about the lead mining industry of the 1800’s.
Some light hiking was also done, and they got the chance to see breath-taking views of the countryside, and an opportunity to learn about local history.

Watthana District
Watthana is one of 50 districts of Bangkok. Other districts bordering are Ratchathewi, Huai Khwang, Suan Luang, Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, Sathon, and Pathum Wan. Watthana was a separate district following the split from Khlong Toei in 1998 to provide better service to its population. The district obtained its name from Princess Galyani Vadhana, the elder sister of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Watthana or Vadhana means development. Some businesses still use the old address of Khlong Toei, not knowing about the change or not bothering about it. This area is among the most developed part of Bangkok. On 1 January 2009, Watthana was the location of the Santika Club fire, which killed 66 and injured 222. This terrible fire brought about changes in Health and Safety, after finding many problems connected with them at the club.
The district is sub divided into three sub districts from west to east:

These structures seem to be abandoned development on Bribie island as you enter Pacific harbour. Absolutely fascinating. The white on these 'structures is actually styrofoam type material, perhaps used for insulation in the process of the building of them. It was not easy to get these as I had to take photos through a fence that runs around it.
