Unlogo Intro from Jeff Crouse on Vimeo.

Cool Collector # Brand Files

Just saw this pretty cool idea from Jeff Crouse. He developed the webservice ‘Unlogo’. Unlogo is a web service that eliminates logos and other corporate signage from videos. On a practical level, it takes back your personal media from the corporations and advertisers. On a technical level, it is a really cool combination of some brand new OpenCV and FFMPEG functionality. On a poetic level, it is a tool for focusing on what is important in the record of your life rather than the ubiquitous messages that advertisers want you to focus on.

In short, Unlogo gives people the opportunity to opt out of having corporate messages permanently imprinted into the photographic record of their lives.

I think the filters look just as annoying as the all the brand information, but I really like the thought behind it! Find out more about Unlogo here!
