Great work, guys! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a digital signage solution. It’s a complete package, including a web-based administration system.

I’ll follow up with more information soon. And better pictures, if I can muster them.

Onwards: a friend challenged me on my apparent loathing of all things variegated. I brushed it off, but it gnawed at me and I realized I’m not sufficiently open-minded when it comes to type. Not everything can be black, white and Helvetica.

I’m afraid that I don’t have the sources for these images, so if you spot them, please do leave a comment here or on Flickr. Alternatively, if you see a reason to pull them down, please do the same.
