Converse, the world-renowned footwear brand known for its passion for music and independent artists, has unveiled a new campaign comprehensively implementing the potential of modern-day audio-visual arts.

The campaign entitled ‘Desire’ represents an interactive experience at Schuh’s flagship store in London as well as in other brand’s venues in the U.K. It is based on the ‘Three Artists, One Song’ concept unveiled last year that was designed to create a free MP3 song starring Kid Cudi, Bethany Cosentino (Best Coast) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend). This year, in its new campaign, Converse has brought together another creative threesome. They are Paloma Faith, Graham Coxon (Blur) and Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral) and have collaborated on an EP called Desire.

Being a long-time supporter of various art projects, Converse comes out as a global sponsor of the LIVE digital design tournament 2010-2011 by Cut&Paste.

Comparison stands behind any considered choice, and any confident global brand tends to provide its consumers with an opportunity to examine both the positive and negative sides of their products—and sometimes weigh its offerings against goods by other manufacturer. Sometimes, companies also step outside the product world and help compare lots of other things—sexes, automobiles, brothers, tastes, political parties, athletes and more—to help determine which of the two is better, stronger, messier, tastier, faster, more attractive, reliable, sportive, etc.  In this overview, we won’t focus on serious ratings revealing carbon footprint or social impact, like Nike’s Environmental Apparel Design Tool, Timberland’s Eco Index or GoodWill’s rating—instead, as tribute to April Fool’s Day, which was celebrated last Friday, we will focus on humorous and tongue-in-cheek projects.
