    I'm with i_monk on this one. It's just a day of practical jokes waiting to be branded, not rebranded imo. Lots of people don't even recognize April 1st as 'April Fools Day'...

    But to give an example of a holiday rebranding:
    Austin based firm, Under Construction, took on rebranding Valentines day. It was featured on the Studio360 podcast I get.

    if you go to the link there's downloadable pdfs of the redesign and their new valentines stationary.

    here's part of the new mark

    • i was listening to that Studio360 show in the car with friends, and they all thought graphic designers were retarded.Douglas
    • There is that perception of jokes and mischief, I feel as though that is a quality of brand.
      ********
    • Xmas is no longer xmas but holidays per political correctness
      ********
    • aren't designers retarded? i mean...how could anyone possibly be so passionate and interested in what they do for a living that they would want to pursue it outside of the office? hahamaliah
    • living that they would want to pursue it outside of the office? haha. i feel yamaliah
    • And i just don't see much of a collective opinion about April Fools. It's not observed by most and it hasn't been commercialized yet, so it kinda goes unnoticed by most.maliah
    • commercialized yet, so it kinda goes unnoticed. PLUS there's no candy or booze involved...maliah
    • maliah doesn't get invited to the good parties.
      ********
    • nope, i throw em. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...maliah
