The Brooklyn Nets

post from Daring Fireball on 02 May 2012 08:02:47 PM. © Daring Fireball

There’s something a little off about the typography, I agree, but I think Armin Vit is too harsh on the identity design for newly-moved-to-Brooklyn Nets. (And I think Paul Lukas at Uni Watch misses the mark completely.) The Nets’ previous identity exemplifies everything that’s wrong with modern sports logo design — every trendy effect you can find, glommed all together. This new design is simple, sturdy, and timeless. It makes it look like the Nets have always been in Brooklyn, and that they always will be.

The Next iPhones Name

post from Daring Fireball on 02 May 2012 06:07:59 PM. © Daring Fireball

Devir Kahan:

Every time I hear someone make some prediction about the upcomingiPhone 5 I cringe. You see, we don’t have to make any predictionsabout the iPhone 5 because we have it already. The iPhone 4S isthe fifth iPhone Apple has produced.

Logically, yes. But let’s face it — if Apple decided that “iPhone 5” was a good name, they’d use it, whether it’s the sixth actual iPhone or not. (I’d argue the next iPhone will be the seventh: the CDMA iPhone 4 is a different device [including a better antenna design] than the GSM model.)

Regardless, I think logic dictates that the next iPhone willsimply be called “iPhone” and be referred to by Apple as “the newiPhone” just as, at this point, none of Apple’s other products usenumbers.

I agree, which, if we’re right, makes the whole “Will they call it iPhone 5 or 6?” question moot.

Google Wi-Fi Snooping Report

Chris Soghoian, writing for Wired:

However, even if the FCC lacked the legal authority punish Google,nothing prevented the agency from alerting the public, the media,and Congress to the full extent of Google?s sins. Instead, theagency opted to keep the public in the dark.
The FCC has yet to reveal the reasons why it opted to so heavilyredact the most damning portions of the Google WiFi report.Congress should not wait for the FCC to volunteer an explanation.It should demand answers.
