AFTER TEA PARTY (2011) ++MUST GO EVENT++






This Sunday the 16th (from 15:00-21:00) was held the AFTER TEA PARTY 2011 at the Guru Club in Barcelona.

The Guru Club (Nou de la Rambla) was transformed to re-invent a very particular vintage “street” market, with an authentic proposal of creativity, party and fun.

Since you cross the door you could feel (and see of course) a hole different space where you could buy fantastic vintage cloth, from handmade accessories, customized shoes and sweaters to high brand garments, enjoy the music with a nice drink or fall into the temptation of trying the delicious cakes that where also sold (to a very, a mean very competitive price)

The responsible of creating the music environment, were Dave Deep, Hain Dutt and A-Lex, who successfully “closed” the evening.

At the end, the mission was achieved, they created a unique environment surrounded by people with genuine proposals and great ideas, where was impossible not to have a good time and enjoy looking through the hangers and letting yourself flow with the ambience.

What i´m really sure about is that I’m looking forward for the next After Tea Party, is definitely a MUST GO EVENT.

STARBUCKS ANNOUNCES NEW LOGO 2011



Forty years ago in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, Starbucks began its journey - to a not far and huge success - as a roaster and retailer of high-quality coffees worldwide. Not before a decade later they started offering espresso beverages (like the double shot caramel Macchiato that saves me everyday!), but if we think in Starbucks what is the first thing that comes to our minds? The Siren!



Yesterday the coffee brand announced that due to the celebration of their 40th anniversary, Starbucks is making the first tweak to its iconic 20 years old logo (launching it in March, 2011). After sensitively exploring a huge range of logo varieties they decided to “free” the Siren from the word mark, trying to “remark” and bring their identity anytime, anywhere. Terry Davenport (Starbucks CEO) explained to Adweek that they took inspiration from companies like Nike where they separated the word “Nike” from the swoosh.

It`s definitely a big day in a brand’s life when they need no longer to print their name to be recognized immediately. We can't avoid saying that this brand is definitely part of our school, university, work...life! Congratulations!!
