Friday, May 16th, 2008

He […]

Carphone Warehouse Install

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

The colours should have given it away (no red in sight) and I can’t blame any of our contributors as I took the photos myself!!
We wrongly attributed these photos to Vodafone when it should have in fact been Carphone Warehouse - even more embrassing as we have had a LOT of interest in the install […]

More Blue Screen Of Death

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

There’s no reason for the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) shown here AND this is one of our favourite networks in London too!!
We often get sent or pointed at BSODs but you never know - especially with the BSODs shown on large LEDs, whether they have been faked / mocked up but two of us […]

Angry With Your PC?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

There was some really nice content on the new screens in the windows of the Carphone Warehouse stores that we saw in London earlier this week.
We also liked the attention to detail - notice the ‘touch me’ and the arrow putting at the screen painted onto the window itself.
The content loop also had ‘touch the […]

New Carphone Warehouse Window Display Rollout

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Here’s the very latest windows displays in Carphone Warehouse stores. This picture was taken in Oxford Street, London.
We mistakenly attributed this screen shot to Vodafone earlier. Our mistake. This is a new install for Carphone Warehouse and very impressive it is too.
