We’ve begun to change the look of the GFI Labs (formerly Sunbelt) blog and we thought we’d give our alert readers some idea of what to expect.

Last June Sunbelt Software was purchased by GFI Software and today we changed the logo on top of the blog to reflect that:

Over the next month or so there will be more changes too.
Dr. Newton here will be part of the new “labs” look. He was brought to life by the creative team in the GFI marketing group in our sunny Mediterranean island headquarters on Malta.

Stephen Chetcuti Bonavita, GFI director of marketing said: “Just wanted to give you all a quick update on progress of the new GFI LABS. The webpages are still in progress and being improved constantly, though there’s still some work to be done.

“We did complete our creatives for the mad scientist character that we will use to represent the LABS and respective sections – we’re calling him Dr.Newton (wonder where that came from? ).”
