Hello there,

Firstly, a big thank you to all of you who responded to our email a couple months ago regarding the logo poll. We received some really good feedback and the result was an absolute landslide.

After much deliberation we decided to listen to you and work with option 1 which we developed further until we were happy, which I'm glad to say we are. With our new logo in place we could finally turn the spotlight onto our website which is the focus of this email as it has just gone live!

Check it out and let us know what you think.

New People

We have new additions to the Blue Beetle dream team and we're still on the lookout for more. But for now, welcome to Amirreza and Jmerts who have already made a significant contribution considering they've only just finished the probation period.

more about who we are...

new works

New Services

We've been pretty busy over the last few months (half the reason why it took so long with our own website). Off note check out Liquid, Hydra and Gulf Finance. More to come very soon!

Playground

To celebrate our new logo, new office, new website, new staff etc. we decided to craft a motion graphics piece just for the heck of it. As if we're not busy enough as it is!

In case you didn't know already, we're located in the relatively new Dubai Studio City. It may seem to be a bit out in the sticks but actually it is very easy to find and get to and there's parking for Africa. If you need a map you can grab one from the link below.

heard it on street

"Bing is a search engine that finds and organizes the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions."

If you have not heard of it yet, you soon will. Bing is a new search engine (or decision engine) and consumer brand recently released by Microsoft with which they hope to challenge Google. It hasn't been a bad start so far as they have already teamed up with Yahoo. (Yahoo is going to use Bing to power its own website.) Check it out for yourself www.bing.com.

dot who? dot me...

As you have probably noticed, the extension to our domain is ".me". It is actually the country domain extension for Montenegro of all places but companies around the world are snapping up web addresses with said extension because of its reference to "me". Besides that however, companies located in the Middle East are also going for it for obvious reasons. If you're based in the Middle East it may be well worth looking into. Any reputable domain registry will have them for sale.

Windows 7 is coming, are you ready for it?

We're hearing good things about Windows 7 and the launch is imminent... and that is all we're going to say for now :-) www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

 

inspiration

This site is amazing. What a great, imaginative use of Flash - we love it.

Such a great original idea and a fitting tribute to the late Micheal Jackson.
Wish we had thought of it!

This is a very clever use of Youtube. We have not had time to figure out how its done yet, but we'll do some investigating.

OK these guys are definitely on something, not hard considering they are Dutch. This is one of the most creative and wacky sites we have ever seen!
