Halogy Brand Released!

Posted: 1st May 2009

We are excited to announce the launch of the Halogy Brand!

You can go to halogy.com and sign up if you are interested in our new CMS which is due to be released shortly.

For more on the branding see the Halogy Brand Guidelines.

We recently released the logo for our flagship product Halogy and received mixed responses. Many said it was very cool and exciting, others didn't like it that much because it was too different and unconventional.

We love to be different and unconventional! A recent quote from a brand designer I know when quized about whether one should use the same typeface as the logo in the rest of the brand:

No. i would never do a typeface that matched the logo that's a recipe for mediocrity.
Having signage, stationary and websites in the same font as your logo is just brand-dilution.

We like to think that with Halogy we have broken the trend to follow mainstream thinking which can lead to mediocrity. We are very proud of our work and what's wrong with being a bit different. One thing is for sure and that is that it's sparking a lot of conversation :-).

Halogy Private Beta

Halogy CMS is starting it's private beta program - get involved by visiting the Halogy site and registering your email.

Halogy is a powerful new CMS which gives website administrators a really easy-to-use system that updates content, blogs, shop, wiki, forums and loads more. The beta program enables people to test the CMS out with their website and benefit from being a part of this exciting new web app. We'll launch the public beta over the summer.

Thanks to all those who have shown interest already.

Jquery Field Replace

Posted: 15th May 2009

It's time for some cool Jquery code, it has been too long - we do apologise.

I've been working on my Jquery Field Replace script which automatically switches the value of an input with the title. This is useful if you want to auto populate an input field to explain what it does but not keep it in there. Code is all yours, but please credit us or at least let us know if you have used it by dropping a comment. Enjoy!
