Photoshop’s New Logo

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Since the last rebranding of Adobe’s design suite has been nine months ago (remember the Periodic Table o’ Elements?), apparently it’s time for another new logo, this time for the Photoshop “family” of applications.

Photoshop Logo

Opinions? Well, apparenty it represents a P. At least according to John Nack, who also has more details on the whole rebranding thing. It’s a speech bubble. Yes, another one. Welcome to the bandwagon! And it’s in 3D with glossy finish, practically screaming “photoshop filters!”. Where’s the lens flare?

Anyway, while the logo might not please everybody (judging from a lot of not so nice comments on John’s post), at least it seems Adobe has finally rediscovered Photoshop as a valuable brand.

Adobe CSS Advisor

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

While the CS3 Beta was the hype of the last week and was announced with much fanfare, Adobe quietly released another product in public beta: The Adobe CSS Advisor.

Adobe CSS Advisor

The CSS Advisor is a new service that lets you easily find solutions to CSS problems and allows you to file through various lists of browser compatibility issues. It got mentioned briefly during the presentation of Dreamweaver 9/CS3 but apparently it has been released earlier and I just stumbled across the page by accident.

From the website:

  • Find solutions to CSS and browser compatibility issues
  • Share solutions and workarounds you’ve discovered with the community
  • Comment on and improve existing solutions

At the moment it’s still quite empty but it’s a social site which allows you to post your own issues (requires you to sign up for a free Adobe ID) in a “Problem - Solution” style. And there’s even a RSS Feed for your syndication goodness.

Apparently, the Advisor will be linked with Dreamweaver 9, probably much like the sidebar help in existing Dreamweaver versions.
