Welcome to the new Veer Ideas

Before, Veer Ideas was mostly about us.

We explored the possibilities of our images and type through thematic web features like Type City, Rest Stop, and Lightboxing, and downloadable treats like desktop wallpaper. On The Skinny blog we gave you the latest Veer news and pointed to inspirations, curiosities, and cool designs. It was our creative playground.

What we liked most, though, was hearing from you. You, who commented on our blog posts, entered our contests, and showed us what you’d done with our visual elements. And who shared your personal stories.

That’s why you’re the biggest part of the new Veer Ideas.

Call it community, call it web 2.0, whatever. It’s your creative playground, your creative platform. We wanted to make it easy, fun, and rewarding. The new Veer Ideas is a place to share and explore ideas, from trivial whims to big concepts, from workday challenges to world-changing what-ifs.

We'll keep doing all the things we used to do. But we’ll also be a big part of the new community. Veer’s in-house creative team has already started uploading their portfolios and posting isometric worlds and blog entries. We’ll be joining in, sparking creative activities, and watching what happens, every step of the way.

Right now, we’re pretty rough around the edges. But we’re in perpetual beta. So bring on the feedback and we’ll make it better. Leave a comment or send your thoughts to ideas@veer.com

Jump in and explore. We’ll see you there.

Nicely put Jon. We're lucky to have someone so eloquent!

Perpetual beta is the new under construction.

Now where did I leave my toolbox?

In that case, the road outside our apartment must be in perpetual beta... damn jackhammers at 3 am! At least coding is a bit quieter.

Thanks Ale! You can still find the catalogs on the Features page, at the bottom of the Little Features column. Here's the link.

Hey Ale, you should sign in and start putting together your member page. Your friend Mr Corey Holms is already here … you don’t want him to be putting you to shame, do you?

Yes G, I did it. I don’t want Corey shame on me. But, not sure why I was not able to create a portfolio post so I did just a post
