Topics of the Day

We took a break from more serious topics this week to discuss recent events in popular culture. From Star Wars and Star Trek to Pokemon GO to Uber’s new logo, the conversation ranged all over.

@uxpin Pokémon Go! #UXPinChat

A1 I honestly play both, but #PokemonGO has kind of taken over my life right now #UXPinChat

— Indra Sofian (@indysofian) July 15, 2016

Tetris. #uxpinchat https://t.co/vU5c04HFzw

@uxpin Q1 – #pokemongo – nostalgia! #uxpinchat pic.twitter.com/XbYum93aem

.@uxpin Pokemon Go, no doubt. Gets me out! Socializing! Involved! TEAM VALOR!! … Make new friends! #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

A1: I've dreamed of being a Pokemon Master since 1996 when I started Pokemon Red! #UXPinChat #TeamInstinct pic.twitter.com/qOcb4dH3AD

@uxpin neither, I'm still waiting for Super Mario AR. #UXPinChat

— Magda Mozgawa (@magdamozg) July 15, 2016

.@sesella_stellae @ryantriddle Played Red in gen 1, but chose Instinct?! Traitor! #TeamHarmonyInTheEnd

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@uxpin hands down, Pokemon Go! #UXPinChat

— Vi (@vi_rox) July 15, 2016

MacBook. Always Apple. #addiction #uxpinchat https://t.co/lJDglQWDNI

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

Macbook Air! #uxpinchat https://t.co/vK2t0qBpkc

— Lindsey Meredith (@lindseymere) July 15, 2016

@uxpin A2: what are the specs and what do you need to use it for? Also, I'm more of a MacbookPro girl. #uxpinchat pic.twitter.com/fmze5MC7Ln

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

A2) @uxpin Really is subjective based on use/comfort. I've grown to love PCs. HP notebooks all I trust from HP though #UXPinChat #Conflicted

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

.@theuxicorn @uxpin Asking the right questions! #UXPinChat #Context

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @uxpin I use a few different laptops based on what client I'm working for. PC and Mac don't concern me unless traveling.

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @uxpin #uxpinchat #ux habits die hard.

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

.@theuxicorn @uxpin Given the choice, do you have a brand for Win or Linux laptops?

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

A2 I think the HP Spectre is a solid computer, but I can't stay away from Mac OS. Macbook ftw #UXPinChat

— Indra Sofian (@indysofian) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @uxpin never used Linux. I've used Dell, Alienware, and HP. I think Alienware was favorite. Love the lighting and performance

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

@uxpin MacBook all the way! #UXPinChat pic.twitter.com/dpO9iwyIYA

— Melissa Merrick (@sesella_stellae) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @uxpin but I'm of the "best (camera or computer) is the one that you have on you" camp. I prefer MacOS if I'm buying.

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

.@theuxicorn @uxpin Good stuff! Recommend looking at ASUS or MSI then. Can be Alienware performance, better price tag. #Derailing #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @uxpin my husband and dad also can build from scratch so if I need desktop, that is an option. Laptop might be awkward to DIY

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

@uxpin A2: MacBook Pro :) #UXPinChat

— Justin Horner (@justinhhorner) July 15, 2016

#UXPinchat A2: this is some serious trolling ;) I’m yet to meet a designer who uses any PCs.

— Marcin Treder (@marcintreder) July 15, 2016

.@theuxicorn @uxpin Personal experience, laptop DIY not fun. Desktop building is love, building is life. A good #Hackintosh is fun too!

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

A3) @uxpin Old for sure. Humor just rings with me better. Admittedly viewed new through snippets, but unhappy with what I saw. #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

A3 I’m willing to give new Ghostbusters a go … but I doubt it’ll top the original #UXPinChat #nostalgia

— Benjamin Gremillion (@ux_benjamin) July 15, 2016

@uxpin Neither! I actually started my own Ghostbuster Crew. Don't believe me? #UXPinChat #startuplife pic.twitter.com/uAD3AgBfAm

— Melissa Merrick (@sesella_stellae) July 15, 2016

@uxpin The Real Ghostbusters. #80stoons #uxpinchat pic.twitter.com/epWcjwzJ0H

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

I like to support indie @uxpin #uxpinchat https://t.co/alp0Q4Lkwt

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

A4. I have to choose!? To boldly go where no rebel’s gone before! May the prime directive be with us! #UXPinChat

— Benjamin Gremillion (@ux_benjamin) July 15, 2016

@uxpin #uxpinchat #starwars for sure pic.twitter.com/X8s70Maqwa

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

A4) Don't like action-flick Trek movies. Gotta go Rogue One for #UXPinChat. Sorry @ryantriddle, but I will geek over TNG any time!

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

#StarTrekBeyond, of course. #Trekkie4life #uxpinchat https://t.co/Ego3ELMh3S

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

.@uxpin Relevant to this #uxpinchat question: https://t.co/jlvrqzDErp

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

Relevant: https://t.co/TuT3H46c4Z #UXPinChat

— Benjamin Gremillion (@ux_benjamin) July 15, 2016

@uxpin In honor of my bestie @ryantriddle, Star Trek #UXPinChat pic.twitter.com/Gc8xTWhxsz

— Melissa Merrick (@sesella_stellae) July 15, 2016

A5) Said it before, will say it again. Instagram's new logo looks like something I did in middle-school. And I like dark colors. #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

.@instagram's logo. I have no idea what @Uber's logo is trying to communicate. #uxpinchat https://t.co/CEadmA2Hn7

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

A5 As a designer, I like Uber's logo more because it's more of a canvas than Instagram's. And a canvas can be anything you need #UXPinChat

— Indra Sofian (@indysofian) July 15, 2016

A5 Instagram’s at least looks like a camera. Uber’s looks like a new port symbol. #UXPinChat

— Benjamin Gremillion (@ux_benjamin) July 15, 2016

.@ryantriddle For devil's advocate: Logos that don't communicate well: Chrome, Firefox, Apple? Tagging @ux_benjamin for fun too. #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@uxpin #uxpinchat uber just makes no sense and their creative brief sounds drunk. Instagram looks too generic but wins by default.

— Tarra Anzalone | UX (@theuxicorn) July 15, 2016

.@ux_benjamin @ryantriddle Would think Uber, Instagram pretty established themselves. Both certainly make headlines, not just for logos

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

.@ryantriddle @theuxicorn @uxpin Would they call themselves for a ride home? =P

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @ux_benjamin Apple's logo does communicate the Newton genius idea that is part of its brand story. The apple of knowledge.

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

.@ryantriddle @ux_benjamin Can see that. Lots of other logos more for brand than app-use communication though. #Still #UXPinChat

— Michael Gremillion (@IselianGaming) July 15, 2016

@IselianGaming @ux_benjamin Perhaps I should've said I don't understand how it communicates Uber's brand. ;)

— Ryan Thomas Riddle (@ryantriddle) July 15, 2016

.@ryantriddle @ux_benjamin Fair point, fully agree there.
