I guess I'm disappointed that burton would allow itself to get pimped by HP to sell free and highly discounted logo services. If that's what 'building a brand' is all about then, well, Burton you suck.

These HP websites are the inspiration that sooo many 'creative' marketing cunts have been looking for! Now they can create their own logos and brand strategy....
FFS!

I find it funny how people get all caught up in snowboard brands.
"I'm not going to buy Burton anymore because they did a commercial with HP." Who cares? Congrats to Jake for building such a huge and successful business.
I don't know about others, but I buy my gear for how it fits and how it performs. When it comes to boots, board bindings I never look at the brand... I buy the best fit and option for me. And when it comes to outerwear I buy what visually appeals to me... not what brand it is.

There a disconnect between this page

and this one

I'd forgotten all about that site..
sweet fancy moses..i wouldn't get terribly worried about something like this...anyone that would use a site like that to create their own branding or logo...well...frankly, you wouldn't want them as a client anyhow...
they're along the lines of folks that would try to con you into coming up with a design for their site or ad campaign, then either complain about the cost, or say 'well..i've got a (cousin brother nephew etc) that has photoshop, and they can do it for $50'...folks like that DESERVE crap logos and clipart nonsense...
i get a kick out of seeing Burton and HP hocking stuff like this online, when you can be sure as hell NO one from either of those companies would ever actually use it...

Jake needs sponsors too! I just wish it was a cooler company like cannon or nikon. This isn't their first partner up anyway. They've done shit with Motorola and Apple. There gear is tech and I'll buy it till I die. Except endevour is looking pretty appealing if only I could get a deal...
- JKilla770
Ok I read more of these posts and looked at the site some more....it's f'n strange.
- kld0
yeah, it's just strange taking a company with roots in good design and selling cut rate logos with their image. The whole HP campaign and this logo site seem at odds.

Funny, I read the Burton manifesto and company history where "Burton" explained how they did not figure out and or understand the marketplace at first and now... if you have seen the HP tv commercial Burton claims that their audience did catch on to their brilliance and it took some time for people to realize what a great brand it was... What a flip-flop bullshit arrogant position.

this is a stupid discussion. HP prolly called Jake...
HP: "hey Jake lets do an all expenses paid ad with a helicopter and you and your buds in the backcountry and profile your company and we'll provide Burton with ink cartridges for life"...
Jake: "fuck yeah you're on".
