• Packaging & branding:
  • Terrible (?) name, solid visuals: wrap your lips around some Hairy Bikers Potato Crisps.
  • Seattle’s Best gets a new logo. Clean, yes, but it just says “ChemLawn” to me.
  • Pentagram Marks: four hundred logo marks from nearly four decades of branding
• Muralist Ron English has created an X-Ray Guernica in Rome.
• From the “Who Knew?” dept.: Drainspotting, a book about Japanese manholes.
