DHL punks UPS, TNT, and DPD by shipping some giant boxes through their service that reveal a hidden message when exposed to heat and street light. Nice one, DHL.

Major League Soccer’s 20th franchise, NYCFC, is due to begin playing in 2015. The team’s expansion rights were bought last year by co-owners the New York Yankees and BPL side Manchester City for $100M. The club has created a bit of a firestorm regarding their brand identity by publishing a blank badge via social media, and asking their brand new fan base to design it. The results have been rather snarky, as you might expect.
