An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I finally was set free from an emotionally abusive relationship. She broke up with me and I finally had the courage to not chase after her.

But she's visibly upset. And I'm afraid of what she'll do to herself. But at the same time, I wanna start looking after myself and start my healing. But I feel guilty for letting her be. While here I am reconnecting with my friends.

What do I do?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

better to check with your close friends, maganda rin may update sila about you and how you are feeling

Let go completely, or else the cycle will just repeat itself

A man and woman on discussing the font to be used for an invitation:

Man: Smth smth about font being too cursive, try a simpler straighter font for more readability.

Woman: Straighter? Baket? Di din naman tuwid ung [REDACTED] mo a.

Dayum that was a good clapback and got a good laugh out of that.

Magandang umaga mga Phlemmings!

Mahirap pala maging self-aware sa mga benefits na nakukuha natin dahil sa maling sistema, lalo na kung iniisip natin na deserve natin ang nakukuha, lalo na di pumapasok sa isip natin na deserve din ng iba, kahit yung mga taong ayaw natin. #blessed

Ex-INC community created!

Bahala na kayo ipromote. Fingers crossed that they come over, lol. Can assign mods accordingly once they comment on the Open Discussion thread.

Been replaying this trending video over on Twitter of a drag queen dressed as Jesus and I found the music used:

Ama Naming Evangelion

Now I can't stop playing it

Nagloloko na naman ang lemmy.world sa PC. I tried to sign in, but it keeps on showing the "log in" and "sign up" pages sometimes or my account name on some pages. Same with incognito mode.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Di na naman makapag kumento sa platform na to ng maayos, pati logon wonky na naman din =.=

thats a demon logo

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I like it. It's very fitting. It looks like a horned beast.

Minimalist Diablo logo yarn ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

May IT department employee ata naglalaro ng Diablo nang magdamag habang ginagawa itong logo. Sabaw na sabaw pa ang gumawa niyan sa pitch room. lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ang unang pumasok sa utak ko nung nakita ko yan ay "gasoline station".

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

3M to? Walangya nga naman ano. Dapat ata taasan ko na rin ang singil ko pag may nagpapasuyo sakin ng logo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yung gradient ang nagdala! ๐Ÿ˜‚

PAGCOR celebrates 40 years with new logo

ROTFLMAO

Looks like a cross between Cinemalaya and Petron.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm sorry, but logos nowadays are hideous ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can confirm. Worked in a company that had an in-house team of graphic designers and their logos are atrocious.

Also, hiring people to make you one with a "budget" is a bad idea. You need to have a limitless cash flow upwards to the equivalent of millions of pesos from an international firm for them to seriously gameplan an identity and sensical logo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

And the problem is, hanggang logo lang sila :(

Not an expert, but I've recently been fascinated with the concept and read (sparsely) on it.

You've got to have a consistent logo and branding. And sometimes, they don't even converse with the client. I know there are horor clients out there, but it is impossible to get shit done properly without knowing what the company is about, what is significant to them in terms of values. Hell, some even go research competing companies' logos just to come up with a logo and branding design that can convince them essentially that "hell, sa logo pa lang na to, talo na ung competition nyo".

A well designed, well-thought out, communicable brand and design is not necessarily expensive, but definitely should be bang for your buck.

Take a look at Apple, McD's, Nike, etc. Hell even National Geographic's logo is so simple and yet almost anyone who sees that yellow rectangle instantly knows who this is and what they're about.

Considering the disaster of a PAGCOR logo, for 3 million, AT LEAST do some research on the damn company, culture and history. This is what happens when there is no "peer review" and you throw designs willy nilly and see what sticks.

Sucks to be the graphic designer, but you have to admit, the 3mm makes it suck less.

Please tell me they didn't spend a fortune on this, because if they did, parang lugi ata sila. First the Love the philippines then this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They did. 3,035,714.28 pesos.

Mas maganda pa yung mga revisions sa internet na nakita ko, although tbf, it isn't any better because the logo is bad to begin with.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Putangina 3m for a not just a shitty logo but equally shitty branding?

Tanginang yan mag graphic designer na lang ako sa gobyerno.

EDIT: Mans actually had a stint (not sure if he graduated from) USTe CFAD. (Link) I mean come on, at least a bit more effort for this at least. Wala rin ako mahanap na design brief so at least one is given a rationale behind the layout, design, theme.

God dammit i have to admit a bit salty kasi 3m nakuha nya for a bootleg petron logo kingina hahahaha

EDIT 2: Branding hindi brandy lmao
