Who knew heifers could be so engaging! I think it’s interesting that we dub websites ‘purple cows’ when they are particularly interesting for their engagement and interactivity. For one, it’s interesting to see how one idea or branding concept, of cows, can really take of graphically across the web. Each one of these sites use the cow image in some way but brand themselves differently through layout, imagery, and text. After checking out some of the sites, I found that the some were better than others, and that implementing interactive features should always bolster the sites message.

For instance, I’m not sure if I totally like flying cow lab’s website, as while the cows hovering around your mouse, strung with balloons, is cute and entertaining, it does little to reflect the site’s purpose and merely shows that the designers at that firm are capable of small interactive scripting. Holy Cow’s web page however really uses interactive design to further there ideas and branding. Going to different sections of the website moves you across the different meat sections of the body of a cow. Not only is this highly entertaining, it really adds to the branding of the site.

Overall, these were some nifty ideas and I really like seeing so many cow designs! A lot of the pages have some great ideas and gel well as an identity for their respective sites.
