About Time: Brands of the World rebrands
Brands of the World is largely considered (by me…and possibly others) to be one of the most important branding sites on the web. BotW serves as a hub for logos, but often goes above and beyond by allowing you to nab .eps versions of the logo for your own use/research.

Pixar Roots
Slash Film has a neat post up detailing the beginnings of a little movie studio known as Pixar that showcases some of their early work. Remember those commercials for Gummi Savers? Would you have imagined you were watching a Pixar production at the time?

Corporate Twitter
Nice little article by Tom Fishburne about corporate tweeting. Of course, the real meat here is the latest comic from his awesome Brand Camp.
