Brian Collins: design genius
By
For power, elegance and strategic perfection, how about the
icon from wecansolveit.org? We read it as "we" but something tugs at
us. There is an anomaly here, and it takes a moment to see that the "w" is actually
an "m" turned upside down. We issues from me. We transcends me.
Brilliant.
I was pleased to see that this is the work of Brian Collins. Hats off ot Mr. Collins. I was at a dinner party on Saturday night, and to our surprise, everyone agreed that Brian wrote the best status lines on Facebook. Hat’s off for these too. I recommend you find Mr. Collins on Facebook and befriend him. The status line was never so well designed. Plus it nice to keep the company of genius even if it’s only online.

I'm happy to say that I'm already a Facebook friend with Brian. It is indeed an elegant and sophisticated design and reminded me of a post I wrote several weeks back about how the collaborative aspects of Web 2.0 would change popular singular prefixes like i(pod), my(space) and you(Tube) to 'we,' 'our' and 'us.'
