My brother's not going to be happy about all these tidbits that aren't about Dubai or being married, but I have to mention briefly that today marks the end of Cingular Wireless.
AT&T is rebranding the cellphone carrier starting today, following it's multi-billion dollar purchase of BellSouth last month. This might be confusing to you, as in late 2004 Cingular bought AT&T Wireless and rebranded the service to Cingular. Get it?
The part that gets me, though, is the reshuffling of logos. About a year and a half ago AT&T stopped using its classic globe logo (designed by Saul Bass, a graphic design tidbit that might make my brother happy).
The new logo is a lame 3-D reimagining. And lower case letters, too.
And I actually like the Cingular Wireless bouncing jack icon. I guess it's going to stick around for a little while, and then be phased out. So sad.
