Recently, I placed a “W” WordPress sticker on my car. My wife freaked, because she thought it was for George W. Bush. After explaining what it was, she still hated it.
Oh well.
There are a bunch of W branding out there if you think of it. For example:
George W. Bush
W Hotels
Webkinz

T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom recently sent Engadget a cease and desist letter over Engadget’s use of the color magenta in its Engadget Mobile news blog. Engadget’s response is to go magenta. Others, such as Clinton Fitch and Gear Bits have joined Engadget in solidarity. Jaffe Juice uses a magenta avatar with the words T-Mobile Sucks for his twitter account.

This photo’s captions were created by Skitch which looks like a cool application. Sadly it’s only for Mac users right now. But there is word that there is a PC version in the works.

I like how Bath & Body works brands their receipts. But it does somewhat interferes with the type.
