Rebranding during coronavirus

Rebranding Campaigns Rampant during Coronavirus Pandemic

Hey there folks, it’s ‘ya guy MagicalLift256 again, here today on the Clinton Township Lift Filming Journal with an impooooooooooortant announcement!!!

Intro

What a year it’s been. Oh, my! Between a chaotic election, tough semesters, a stressful and anxiety inducing summer, a global pandemic, the California wildfires & not being able to film lifts for months on end due to the malls being shuttered or operating at limited capacity, this year has been a wild ride indeed, but the chaos & craziness of 2020 wasn’t able to claim the future of my lift filming channel here at the MagicalLift256 Lift Filming Studio in Clinton, NJ. Oh, ‘ya guessed it! I’m going all-in on rebranding my YouTube Channel to the highest of standards & with that being said, let’s get more insight into the campaigns I have set in place.

Official Brand Vehicle

I am proud to say that I am a proud Toyota lover (naaaaaah but I still drive a Honda!! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!) & my channel will promote the enthusiasm towards Toyota vehicles, especially the 4RUNNER. In fact, the official brand vehicle is a Toyota 4RUNNER. This vehicle represents the adventurist lift filmer, one who doesn’t mind a bit of adventure to their journey on their mission to film the best lifts on the face of the planet. This SUV resembles more of a land mobile, as it goes anywhere there is land (except for, you know, water, otherwise it’d be called a 4SWIMMER!!). A picture of this vehicle can be found at the bottom of the main logo that I use as my profile picture, two of them on either side of the “Clinton Township Lifts” facing a 45-degree angle respective to the side of the logo.

Over the past few months, I have fallen in absolute vivid love with the Toyota 4Runner after my trip to LA back in December where we rented a Ford Expedition (oh, and a brand new one at that). Since that day, I have been looking & researching at different body-on-frame SUV’s built by different manufacturers & here are my top sticklers:

  1. Toyota 4RUNNER (Obviously #1 spot)

  2. Lexus GX 460 (A luxury Toyota 4RUNNER)

  3. Chevrolet Tahoe (This one is a super nice SUV & resembles Chevy’s approach to a 4Runner-like SUV, only it’s more boxy & more heavy-duty)

  4. GMC Yukon (Practically a nicer Tahoe, GMC’s approach to a 4Runner-like SUV)

  5. Ford Expedition (One of my treasure favorites, personal favorite from my California trip)

Colors

For the foreseeable future, the channel theme colors are subtle green, not vivid green. These colors are in place to promote a blend of naturalist & adventurist ideals, values & principles since Clinton Township is surrounded by trees & lush green grass.

Fonts

MagicalLift256 promotes a diverse array of typesets for the MagicalLift256 brand. I recognize that not all fonts are compatible with all platforms that I use to manage my channel, so multiple theme fonts are used, header fonts are sans-serif while body fonts are serif.

Font Schemes:

Header Font Scheme:

  1. Public Sans

  2. Libre Franklin

  3. Inter

  4. Space Grotesk

  5. Chivo

  6. System Sans-Serif Font

Body Font Scheme:

  1. Crimson Pro

  2. Crimson Text

  3. Spectral

  4. Source Serif Pro

  5. Garamond

  6. System Serif Font

These will be the font schemes for the foreseeable future. These fonts will be used in this order where compatible.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
