Earlier this month, the Sci-Fi Channels has completely changed over to their new identity.. It is now “SyFy”. Its a huge makeover for them.. I sorta like the direction that they’re pushing the brand toward.  Lets just hope that they don’t lose the fans in the process.

All of the SyFy Logo Idents concepted for them by ManVsMachine looks pretty awesome.  Also for more of  the SyFy rebrand, check out Proud Creative’s portfolio.

and I also like all of the SyFy IDs animation created by Blind.  I think it fits really well with the new logo.

I had a chance to visit the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida this past week.  They have the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Dali, including  I believe six of his masterworks.  The Museum is relocating soon and the pictures of the new building is really cool.  http://salvadordalimuseum.org/dream/02.html.   The new building is designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Yann Weymouth.
