Graphics artists are emulating clocks that never physically existed
 

Look at some these flip clocks.

In particular this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555535

They are drawing 7 Segment LEDs with segments lit (in WHITE) and not lit (in grey) on an old style "Flip Clock" that has no LEDs.

Here is what a "Flip Clock" should look like

No LED segments, no unlit LED segments. Just plain old white ink on a black ground.

Sorry it just gets under my skin. Probably most of these graphic artists have never even seen the old style flip clocks.

If you wanted an "LED" clock it should not "Flip".

For all I know all these come from HTC and I think it would matter where I posted it.

I just find it funny that folks are trying to emulate something that doesn't exist.

An LED flipper.

I just used the one on XDA as an example of the best screw up.

Mehhh, it's called creativity. Thinking outside the box.

I suppose an LED analog clock is unrealistic too! Hah!

Ligne Roset comes to the rescue with their Pixel clock. The Pixel clock might look like an ordinary big clock, but it's anything but that. It's face is honeycomeb fiberglass filled with 300 LEDs, that are encircled by a satin lacquered steel bezel. It's equipped with a switch to turn the LEDs on or off. It comes with a transparent cable so that you can plug it into a socket if it's not wired directly into a wall.
http://www.unplggd.com/uimages/unplg...elclock_03.jpgThe reason why it's called the Pixel clock is that the LEDs simulate a pixellated analog clock. Since each "pixel" is represented by an LED, you can see why this clock seems so pixellated. From afar, it's hard to understand, until you step closer and examine the surface of the clock. It's really an ingenious design.

Thanks Darren! Much appreciated!

I don't think I'll ever stop. I've only just begun! :D

I don't know what the big deal is, it's art. Remember the Chuck Norris S2U2 clock?

when i think of a flip clock i think of groundhogs day. when it was really close to it and in slow motion it flipped HAHA.

Wait... so you're getting bugged by people being creative by combining ideas? :scratch:

Art. Yeah maybe, 4th Grade Art. Just my opinion.
