The 'Hopscotch Calculator' by Vadim Kibardin is a cleaver little design that is a seriously cute creation.
Instead of sticking to the usual calculator motif, the Hopscotch Calculator revamps the number sequence to look like a hopscotch game. Granted, this is one game you will not be able to jump on, but the 'Hopscotch Calculator' will have you looking even cooler as you crunch those numbers.
Implications - Revamping products is just one way that businesses can continue to remain innovative and cutting-edge. While many businesses feel they need to totally overhall their product designs periodically, the reality is that a more cost-effective avenue to take is to simply make tweaks based on what consumers liked and didn't like about your business's previous product versions.
