What better way to brand yourself than sticking your logo on your skin?

 

Revision 2

Instead adding a lot of noise of URLs and words, I thought that a logo is probably enough. And with motion it becomes fun.

 

Thoughts

I wonder if a white background would be better, because the body is not shown very well here. Perhaps gray light.

Removing history does not work. Public unsearchability creates a false sense of safety. Just because you are not searchable by the public domain does not equate unsearchability.

 

Put yourself in the shoe of Google: if you just spend a whole lot of resources to dig up all these information, are you really going to disposed them all that easily? Most likely not. If I were Google, I will be happy to remove your result from the public domain to keep peace with you.

 

Tada! Due to quesiontable actions committed by you to fulfill your very desire to remove data, I have just identified why I get into the search business at the first place: to mine important intelligence data that no one else has a copy of. Thanks to your help, I have just identified what you considered to be most damaging to your credibility. I’m sure that businesses will pay me tons of money just to get their hands onto my treasure chest.

Vectora is the corporate font for SML Universe. SML picked it mostly for his love for Adrian Frutiger. Another criteria which makes Vectora special is that Frutiger designed it after realizing that there was a need for sans serif type that could be read easily at small sizes, which in many ways make it ideal for designers who love setting tiny type. Yet more of importance to SML, is that it is not a very popular font, as such the typography set by SML would not look like everyone else’s, yet its character has all the sweetness seen in other more popular Frutiger fonts such as of course the Frutiger and Avenir family. The only unfortunate thing with using a not-so-popular font is that it does not have the niceties which SML cares about, such as real small caps and figure numerals (aka x-height numerals). So SML is considering drawing his own some time soon unless of course Linotype would be so kind to consider creating Vectora Next or equivalent.

SML Universe would like to thank Daniel J. O'Neil, Queen of Bleu Jeanna, HRH (Facebook / LinkedIn / SML Wiki) for first suggesting this genius idea to SML back in 2007 while SML was on a domain shopping / poetry writing craze.

 

SML Thank You!!!

Bought these during my visit to the Swatch Shop in Hong Kong to replace batteries for my Swatch collection.

G asked SML to SML8 something, so SML SML8IT for G. That is all.
