PUBLIC MARKS with search consumer

An excellent identity for Consumer Society and Citizen Networks, a Ukrainian organization that protects the rights of consumers.  Designed by Kaffeine Communications, the image combines “…a bar code – as a symbol of consumption – and an umbrella – as a symbol of protection’.

When a maker/hacker buys something, it’s an entirely different attitude that a “regular” consumer. For the most part, a “regular” consumer wants to get the best deal on whatever they are buying, and they want it to “just work”. Yeah sure, us makers/hackers want the device to “just work” also, but we also want to know how and why it works. If we have full documentation, schematics, tutorials, and access to forums, we can fully understand what we own. And then once we understand it, we can fix, modify, hack it to our needs.

Japan experienced an economic boom during World War One (1914 to 1918), and with this emerged new middle class consumers, particularly in the cities. Despite the temporary devastation wrought by the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 that destroyed large portions of the capital Tokyo and surrounding areas, the ensuing post-earthquake “reconstruction boom” stimulated an already emergent cosmopolitan urban culture centering on department stores, cafes and cabarets, modern cinema and theater, and cutting-edge innovations in business, industry, and popular culture. Shiseido’s posters and advertisements were at the forefront of this dramatic transformation in consumer society, particularly in regards to marketing new concepts of modern beauty and hygiene.

GooDiff is a consumer-oriented service for keeping track of changes of important documents – and indirectly the services described by these documents – provided by selected Internet service providers. Our “mission” is to increase transparency for end consumers such as you and I.
