Only a few days after the name of the new style of Vegemite was announced, Kraft has made a decision to change the name.

Kraft issued a press release which admits that Australian people “just don’t like the name”.

A vote will be taken to decide the new name for the spread.

I'm still hanging out for iSpread or Cheesymite!

Although, I do feel pretty sorry for the guy who came up with the iSnack2.0 name. It's got to hit hard when about 10 million people are saying that your idea sucks.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, the paper doll artwork in my banner was made by Megan Isabella. She's a wonderful artist and was recently featured in Frankie magazine. She agreed to immortalise me in the style of a vintage paper doll.

This is 'me':




Here are some others that I think are cute:








Check out Megan's amazing work at her website.

The first announcement of acts has finally been made. I'm very excited about this.

No Paul McCartney unfortunately, but some of the other acts are the epitome of excellence.

Here they are, your Big Day Out lineup for 2010!

Muse.


Powderfinger.


Lily Allen.


Eskimo Joe.


plus, Groove Armada, Grinspoon, The Mars Volta, Ladyhawke, Dizzee Rascal, Karnivool, Peaches, The Temper Trap, Kasabian, Midnight Juggernauts, Rise Against, Magic Dirt, Mastodon, The Horrors, Bluejuice, Calvin Harris, Kisschasy, The Decemberists, Tame Impala and Girl Talk.

And a personal favourite of mine... Lisa Mitchell. She is stunning.



I'm putting bets on Kate Miller-Heidke and Vampire Weekend being in the 2nd or 3rd lineup announcements.. I'd die of excitement if SoKo was going to be performing.

Who's excited?! Who do you think will be in the second and third announcements?

I'm going to keep this post short because the topic has gotten enough attention already.

As some would know, Kraft launched a campaign earlier this year to find a name for their new spread (Vegemite mixed with Cream Cheese). They announced the winner of the competition over the weekend. The name that the new spread will be known as is...

iSnack2.0

It seems that no one is happy with this name, every news article I read, people are going on about how stupid it sounds.

I have to agree with them. It's like it's an intentionally lame parody of the technological generation we live in.

I think iSuck would be a better name.

Or at the very most, iSpread2.0 would sound better, as it is a "spread", but, saying 'iSpread' could have some R Rated misconceptions.

I read on Twitter earlier, someone had posted 'I said "do you speaka my language"? He just smiled and gave me an iSnack 2.0 sandwich.' - I thought this was very amusing. I hope other people get the joke.



What do you guys think, cool or crap name?

As you might have noticed, I've completely changed the layout for 'Shut up, Vita'.

Big thanks to my friend Liv for creating the top banner and to Christian for pointing out the blatantly obvious in my wrongdoings of HTML coding. :)

The paper doll artwork drawing was done by Megan Isabella, I'll post her full details shortly- you'll love her work!


What do you all think of the layout? Any changes to be made?
