Web Observatory

ith the emergence of several innovative web applications, it’s no wonder why some of our favorite things to do in real life end up in the web.

Take for example listening to the radio, in the past we would just turn on the radio, and then fiddle with it’s dials and buttons and listen to either news or music. When computers and the internet came, we still manage to listen to the radio we put beside our computers. Now the radio is already in the internet, we don’t need to fiddle with dials, we click and drag. On example is last.fm.

So the developers have nothing to do but let another part of our routine slapped to the internet… Watching the boob tube… First we had syndicated videos on youtube, or post our own, and several aspiring movie makers started having income by making viral marketing videos. The next step would then be to broadcast a live feed via the internet, and eventually move all of your TV channels to the net.

That’s where WorldTV.com comes in, the problem was in the organizing of your favorite TV channels, and even make it work like Tivo… They currently have a beta release available, slowly but surely becoming one of a thousand staple activities we will be doing in the internet in the near future.

I designed their logo to reflect the encompassing theme of “the world”, and the Television. The inspiration is from discovery channels TV bug, only executed in a bit informal and current way. With a little color change the logo could also look fun! One of the underlying factor with this logo is making it look good as a TV Bug, a youtube bug (the logo of youtube at bottom-right of their videos) as well as look pretty ok in monochrome and gray scale.

The people at WorldTV are a professional bunch. I have personally dealt with Alx Klive the founder of WorldTV and judging from the way things worked out, it won’t be a long shot that WorldTV.com would be the next big thing…
