“Our new name PostNL symbolizes the reliability and down to earth approach of our company. This name does justice to our past, something we are very proud of. By the same token we emphasize that we are a true Dutch company, with ambitions that go beyond mail and operations that reach beyond our borders. Our three-sided logo symbolizes the heart of our company, with mail, parcels and e-commerce at the core.”
Gdansk is a city on the Baltic coast in northern Poland, at the centre of the country’s fourth-largest metropolitan area.
The city lies on the southern edge of Gdansk Bay (of the Baltic Sea), in a conurbation with the city of Gdynia, spa town of Sopot, and suburban communities, which together form a metropolitan area called the Tricity (Trójmiasto), with a population of over 800,000.
Gdansk itself has a population of 435,830 (June 2010), making it the largest city in the Pomerania region of Northern Poland.
When in Gdansk, I would recommend 2 things:
1st, to stay at Hilton Gdansk Hotel overlooking the Motlawa River in the heart of the Old Town.
2nd, to enjoy great Italian food at Restauracja Fellini which is located few walks from the hotel.
One last info about Gdansk, the airport is called “Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport”

When it comes to branding commercial aircraft, the tail comes before the nose. The tailfin is the tallest part of the plane. It’s the last thing people on the ground see as the plane lifts off. And pretty much the only part they see when the plane is parked nose first at the gate. It is a flying billboard, which is why airline branding experts focus most of their attention on designing memorable graphics for the tail. See if you can match the airline with these tails.

The Sperm Bullitt. If you’re cycling around Copenhagen, keep your eyes peeled for this bike.
Nordisk Cryobank (European Sperm Bank) is one of Europe’s leading sperm banks and the company was looking at environmentally-friendly alternatives to how they could transport their sperm samples to the fertility clinics around Greater Copenhagen.
The bike is more than just a rolling billboard for the company aimed at increasing awareness of the need for donors to help childless children around the world. Inside the head of the giant sperm cell is a cooler compartment designed so that the metal containers with sperm donations can fit snugly inside and be kept cold.
CEO Peter Bower rides the bike himself around town and he is constantly stopped by curious passersby who want to take photos of it or ask questions about the unique design.
