Fun With Twitter

I have not yet delved into the wacky world of Twitter as a user, but I, as the rest of humanity, have been involuntarily subjected to it in the form of thousands of Twitter off-shoot websites, celebrity tweeting and limitless Twitter jokes. My personal favorite twitter-esque comedy has to be Conan O’Brien’s TwitterTracker:

Back to the post, I recently had the opportunity to design a logo for a Twitter-based website called Bar Tweet that is actually pretty promising. Basically, it collects a bunch of tweets from people out at bars so they can list real-time drink specials, reviews, etc. So if you want to find the best place to be that night, you just check out Bar Tweet and you can get a pretty good idea of where to go and possibly more important…where to avoid.

This was by far the funnest design I’ve done in a while because ideas for the incorporation of the very fun Twitter Brand was pretty limitless, and then combine that with bars and drinking, and you can come up with some pretty off the wall stuff. Anyway, The Bar Tweet guys wanted a little more serious logo, but it was hard not to make some pretty funny concepts based on Twitter and drinking. So here are some unused concepts that I came up with in the process. To see the actual final design in use, go here.
