The New York Public Library unveiled a new logo over the weekend designed by their in-house design team under the direction of Art Director Marc Blaustein. The new logo uses bolder lines than before and makes an excellent stencil. Nice!
Check out the video below on how the new logo came to be (you can also see the sketches all at once on City Room).

RIM officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9700 today and word is that the device will be available on AT&T and T-Mobile USA for $199 after $100 mail-in rebate. If you’re keeping track, this means that the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be cheaper than its predecessor at launch date.

I thought I wouldn’t like it, but I’m oddly drawn to this white version of the BlackBerry Bold. If I had this, I might not use a silicone case on it like I do with my black one.

Checking voicemail on my cellphone has always been a chore. I know in my voicemail greeting I say that you should leave your name and number, but honestly, when you do I really hate it. I hate checking and listening (and waiting) for voicemail too. That’s why AT&T’s latest upgrade for the Bold is nice because it finally brings visual voicemail to the device. As far as I know, the only other device doing such a thing is the iPhone (somebody correct me in the comments if I’m wrong), but from what I hear, it sucks on the iPhone because AT&T won’t fix some delivery problems with it.
But so far, with my limited testing, visual voicemail works quick and it saves a lot of my time. I like it! If you’ve got a BlackBerry Bold, just upgrade your OS to the latest version and you’ll have a visual voicemail button added to your home screen.

Not that I would ever get the Bold in a different color, but BGR’s photos of a suspicious looking white BlackBerry Bold is interesting. Special unit for a special occasion?

My BlackBerry Bold suffered some minor “wear and tear” over the weekend which caused some of the buttons on the keyboard to become sticky. So what did I do? I watched the handy video below on how to disassemble a BlackBerry Bold and cleaned the unit on my own rather than sending it in for repair/replacement.
I love that practically every single part of a BlackBerry is user-replaceable. If I broke anything other than the main chip board on the Bold, I could easily buy the part to replace it and open my device back up again to get it working.
Here are some close-up images of the cleaning process.
