Atos Origin Workshops

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

In workshops with Atos Origin Major Events all this week, focussing on 3 areas:

  • The Responsibilities Matrix – the breakdown of all responsibilities between the key partners in delivering the 2012 technology programme
  • The IT Master Plan – which needs to be carefully aligned with the overall planning schedules
  • The Help Desk – so that the many people using technology systems at the Games have somewhere to go if things go wrong and need fixing

There is a real focus on actually operating the Games, which is refreshing.

Nice site. Very nice article 🙂

Brand reaction

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Mixed reactions to the new logo. From gushing enthusiasm to hatred, and everything in between. Me, I think:

  • I don’t really like it sitting there ‘on the page’, it doesn’t work well when it is static
  • But it is a clever device for on-line branding in particular, it looks very good on my phone
  • It has a long journey to travel so let’s judge it when that journey is properly under way, in, say, 6 months. I suspect it’ll stand up well and become very popular
  • The shapes definitely remind me of the various Races of Azeroth from Warcraft III Reign of Terror, in particular the Orcish Horde, though the colours are different!
  • Molly would really hate the colours 🙁
  • My six-year-old really loves the colours, especially the pink 🙂

Brand launch today. It’s a big deal, seek all about it. They got mobloguk and facebook into the fun, which is good. Makes me think I should blog more <cough>
