Corbis Acquires Veer

Soon there will be only one. Resistance is futile. You will either be one of us... or you will not exist.
Unless of course, you get smart and start doing your own stock... ya know.
Corbis Acquires Veer, Plans To Keep Brands Separate: "Corbis announced Tuesday that it is acquiring Canada-based stock distributor Veer, which appeals to designers with fonts, illustrations and trendy merchandise in addition to high-quality stock photography. Corbis will operate Veer as a separate brand, a change in strategy that echoes competitor Getty Images. Veer has marketed itself as a design-savvy brand, appealing to graphic arts professionals. Veer even sells its own line of hip T-shirts and bags. Corbis, by contrast, is a general-interest agency with editorial customers like magazines making up a large portion of its business."
