How is an integrated GPS cutting edge? Polar has had watches with GPS for a while now..

To each his own, I think the Moto 360 looks like a hockey puck :)

(I'm not Che or Maradona, so I'm not ditching my analogue watch for a smart watch any time soon, even if I can pay with it..)

I have never submitted anything to Google Play, but there has to be some sort of guidelines for what you can submit and not?

Or he could have just searched the web - "(...) searching the web I find dozens of similar stories"

Responsive Logos 12 years ago

I think the whole reason for having a logo mark is to have something is that is immediately recognised, even when the logo type is omitted. You can't/don't always use the full logo, as it isn't always the best visual solution.

Yes, we do have one of the biggest wealth funds. The problem is that we will probably have to spend more than we are spending today, if the income from taxes is reduced (our national budget will probably not become "cheaper" in the future). And if the demand for oil starts to decrease, maybe we'll spend more money than we are earning from oil export. I know this won't happen in the near future, but I still think that the electric cars will be taxed more one day. Other perks for electric car owners will probably be history in a few years too (electric cars clogging up the bus lanes).

That being said, I hope I'm wrong. I wouldn't mind owning an electric car, the day I need to own a car.

Because a Nissan Leaf still costs ~$30-35000 in Norway. I can buy a used, reliable, petrol car for under half of that.

And the incentives the Norwegian Government introduced to encourage people to buy electric cars, will not last forever. It will definitely last through 2017, but after that - no one knows. The Norwegian Government will probably lose too much money, if people stopped buying petrol cars today.

IMO, the designer is not to blame if the client keeps changing their mind about what they (or their spouse, nephew, neighbour or cat) like - which, believe it or not, happens.
