USMKCC Logo

August 9, 2010

usmkcc official logo

The original two-color USMKCC logo was created on January 23, 2000. CorelDraw 4 was the available version at that time, and Prof. Marlowe E. Llorito was able to put  it to digital drawing what was pencil-sketched by the late VSS Luther G. Moscoso, Sr., the Dean during the NCCAT to USM transition period. The painstaking part of the job was that the font has to be drawn by hand because there was no available font for download related to the USM text, even until today. Engr. Rex N. Toledo was the first to learn CorelDraw and the slow but sure work of an artist was attributed to his manipulation techniques .  The overall concept was based on the USM-main logo but the significant change was on icons at the center of the piece – it’s all about technology/specialization emerging in the Kidapawan City campus. The hand at the center was modeled by Engr. Florentino V. Suarez, Jr. in which he has to act and not move for a long time in-order for Prof. Marlowe to copy his fist. (Note: There was no digital camera yet during this period). Later during his time, Dr. Palasig U. Ampang, Vice President for Administration and former USMKCC Dean changed the color to what we know the USMKCC official logo today.

Facts:
1. Did you know that it took 2.5days for the team to finish the logo design?

2. Did you know that Professor Marlowe was the first to color-separate the logo for use in the printing of USMKCC official students’ uniform?

3. Did you know that Professor Marlowe was the first to translate the design into Photographic silk-screen printing?

Task 4

March 25, 2010

Page setup, formatting and other details for your task 4 was discussed earlier. Below are the contents of your task 4. Find time to read below and search for any related graphics to be added to your lay-out.

Multiple vendors are reporting on a currently ongoing scareware and client-side exploits serving, spam campaign, brand-jacking Best Buy, Chase, Macy’s, Target.com and Evite.

The payments-themed campaign is enticing users into clicking on on a malicious link which attempts to exploit client-side vulnerabilities targeting Java, Acrobat Reader etc. in between loading a scareware-serving page (antivirus_24.exe), tricking users into thinking they’re infected with malware.

Sample subjects include:

* “Thank you for scheduling your online payment”
* “Thank you for your payment”
* “Thanks for planning your event with Evite”
* “Your Target.com order has been shipped”
* “Thank You, Your Anti-Virus Protection Plan has been renewed”

This campaign is directly related to last month’s “Malware Watch: Malicious Amazon themed emails in the wild” campaign, as well as to the Xerox WorkCentre Pro scanned document themed campaign, with both campaigns managed by the same cybercriminals.

Windows users are advised to keep their 3rd party applications and browser plugins up-to-date, use least privilege accounts, securely handle active content, or completely isolate their Internet activities, in order to mitigate a huge percentage of the risk posed by such attacks.
