Okay, so it’s been a while since we’ve posted our favorites from the worldwide web. What can we say? We’ve been busy. But as of today, VANGEL Links We Love is back online. (Oh, Allison and Julie would be so proud.)

• Ever wonder what your favorite album would look like as a book? These are so brilliant.

• It’s a dog eat dog world out there, and yes, Denver is most definitely guilty. Check out this awesome canine interrogation.

• What do we love more than fonts? Tables MADE from fonts.
It’s alphanumeric furniture, baby!

• It’s Bike, Walk & Wheel Week here in Columbia, Mo. Tomorrow is FREE breakfast day, so get your lazy self up in the morning and walk or bike to a breakfast station near you.

It’s Friday, and here in VANGEL-land, that means many of us have adult beverages on the brain. Well okay, if we’re being totally honest, that kind of thinking isn’t just limited to Fridays.

This week we’ve been passing around several funny ads, and all of them just happen to be alcohol-related.

So put your feet up and grab a refreshment,* and check out some of the things we’re loving this week:

*VANGEL does not encourage on-the-job drinking, unless of course it’s Friday.

Bundaberg Rum Commercials
Kevin found this hilarious TV spot from Australia:

Don’t miss the follow-up Apology and Apology Apology videos!

Kahlua “Delicioso” Campaign
Props to Shannan for finding these gems:

Miller Lite Radio
The “Original Lite Beer” has some brilliant radio spots airing right now. Unfortunately we can’t embed them here or link directly to them, but click here to visit the Miller site, and then select “All Radio” from the drop-down menu. We particularly like the “Fresh vs. Stale” spot. You can also check out the transcripts of each ad here.

Have you seen or heard anything we should add to this list? Let us know in the comments.

Cheers!

All of us here at VANGEL are huge suckers for furry little friends, so the Shelter Pet Project definitely struck a chord. The project’s aim is to get rid of the stigma surrounding animals in shelters, and they’ve put together a fun, interactive website in support of that goal. You can find adoptable pets in your area, send Adopt-A-Grams to your friends, and more. And be sure to check out the campaign tab to see some gems like these:

If you’re plugged into the world of social media, no doubt you’ve heard grumblings the last few days about the redesign of the Gap logo.

Designers all over the world are in a tizzy over the new look—just take a look at the comments on this post for a taste of the uproar.

The webosphere has erupted literally overnight with parodies and mockery, including a fake Twitter account (@GapLogo) and a Make-your-own-Gap-logo generator, among others.

In a response (of sorts) to the outcry, Gap posted a response on its Facebook Wall yesterday, asking for the community to design alternative logos. Way to fuel the fire, guys.

Perhaps this is all a well-planned out strategy of getting us all to talk about the GAP amidst declining sales. The old “any publicity is good publicity?”

Whatever the case, we’re having a good time watching this whole drama unfold. But we want to know what you think of the redesigned logo. Brilliant strategic move? Epic failure? Share your opinion by leaving us a comment below!

• What happens when 100 cats invade IKEA? This brilliant commercial. (Don’t miss the Making Of video too!)
• Oh, the things unseen that go on inside our toilet paper rolls.
• A rainbow-colored office would totally increase productivity,
  don’t you think?
• Quite possibly the most fun you can have in a school auditorium: Human Pixel Pac-Man.
• Now this is how you give an impassioned speech.
