This is the new Google Logo (and all the old ones)

Every company needs to refresh his logo ones in a while. So Google refreshed his recently. It's certainly not the first time the search giant changed his logo. At first site nothing look changed but if you watch closer you see a lot of changes, especially if you compare it with the old logo's.

The logo accidentally leaked a few weeks ago and so began the rumors if this logo was really the new google logo. But now it's clear it is.
The trend in logo's now-a-days is flat design and so is this design. To be honest with you, this is just the old logo but flat. Not a lot has changed.

Below the new logo and all the old ones. Compare and tell us what you think!

You probably use WhatsApp every day. It's a great way to contact your friends and more important: It's totally free. (despite your operator costs off course)

The only problem with WhatsApp is that it’s not the very well designed. Julian Kraske seems to agree too so he’s come up with his own design of WhatsApp in his free time. And it looks beautiful. It has a very modern design and the interface is just stunning. Also a beautiful use of the typical green WhatsApp logo color.

Influenced by the braun radio designs of dieter rams, the 'T3 music app' for iPhone integrates simplified controls and navigation features to minimize clutter and chaos in the device's song library. the browsing interface uses styling from the 606 universal shelving system - where playlists can be organized alphabetically or by manual ranking - allowing users to sort and customize music based on preference.

The 5 best weather apps for your iPhone

One of the things you can use your iPhone for is checking the weather. The question is, what is a great weather app? Below is a selection of the 5 best weather apps available in the app store.

1. Sky - Minimal Weather

This super minimal and clean weather app features a lovely smooth background which changes colour depending on the temperature. So if it’s cold it’ll be blue, if it’s super hot it’ll be red. You’re simply given the current temperature and the forecast for the next four days.

Price: Free

2. Weather HD 2

Weather HD 2 is a huge overhaul to the already popular Weather HD app, and the latest version features brand-new weather animations, 3D world weather maps and the new QuickView, so you can see the weather in multiple locations at once. There are also push notifications for severe weather alerts in the US and Europe and plenty of social integration.

Price: $1.99

3. WeatherLive

WeatherLive features the standard weather information, such as “feels like” temperature, wind direction and speed, humidity, and so on, as well as display the information either in full or in a custom format (e.g. short or long-term forecast, text only and so on).

Price: $0.99

4. Solar Weather

Solar will simply detect where you are and display the forecast for your region. It’s not ideal for detailed weather forecasts, but for the simple-minded of us who just want to know whether we have to wear a coat or take an umbrella when we step outside, it’s absolutely ideal.

Price: $1.99

5. ClearWeather

ClearWeather is a free weather app which simply gives you the current weather and basic info for the next 3 days too. You can add multiple locations and you can make it notify you of the weather for the day. Other than that there is nothing else in the app. It’s designed to be simple, if you’re looking for detailed info you need to look elsewhere.

Price: $0.99

Searching for a map of Manhatten? Stop searching because this is the most beautiful designed map you could find of New York's island, Writing Manhattan

As described on their site:

This beautiful A3 map documents 78 of Manhattan's most significant and intriguing literary sights, from former flophouse hotels to fancy bars, all the while alerting the reader to new books, authors and of course places to explore. There are pigs-a-roaming, sapphic scandals, and scuttlebutt to spare - it's literature, New York-style.
The map is written by Jon Hammer and Karen McBurnie, whose work may be familiar from Truly Greenwich Village. Cover design and art direction is by Dan Cassaro. It is A3 (297x420mm) folded to A6 (105x148mm), and litho printed in England on recycled paper.

You can order one for only $4.00 here

Any.Do Moment - The best task app there is

Any.do already is a well known name on Android and IOS devices, but now they redesigned the app. This task app now is, in my opinion, the best task app you can get and it's totally free!

The best thing about Any.do is the beautiful minimalistic design. It's just stunning and it also works really well. Any.Do has just added a new feature that makes handling your to-do lists more manageable and actionable. The app lets you triage your daily to-do list and turn it into a sort of daily planner that lets you easily re-prioritize your tasks.

Any.Do Moment is activated every day at a specific time you set (it alerts you with a standard iOS or Android notification), and it simply presents you with your list of to-dos for the day, one by one. This single-task focus lets you focus on the day ahead and make decisive decisions about whether or not you can actually check off that task today or whether you can push it off to another day.

In essence, Any.DO is trying to re-think mobile to-do list apps. Rather than just let tasks pile up indefinitely, both provide users with a way to sort and manage items within the app in an effort to boost productivity.

I have now used the app a short while and this is the best thing I ever used. Now you really schedule your tasks. Any.do forces you to do so in a friendly way.
