@FedeItaliano76 It’s not great. Could make a much better one with Josef Müller Brockmann in mind. Small text, small logo, bum colours. An overall bland, unrecognisable look.

A rejected McDonald's packaging design from Unimark International in the 1970s that could work today...

@FedeItaliano76 I biked from Central Frankfurt once to see it. It is very inaccessible inside a closed industrial estate. I discovered you could book a visit so was going to come back. The covid hit and visits were stopped. Don’t know if it’s possible now. Still a dream of mine :-)

An astounding example of Backsteinexpressionismus (Brick Expressionism): the Technical Administration Building interior of the former Hoechst AG in Frankfurt, designed by Peter Behrens (1920-4). Photographs by Klaus Peter Hoppe

@clairestrickett I read (most of it hehe) recently. Was inspired by the weirdness. For instance, luxury brand should never cowtow to customers or celebrities, refreshing. Makes me want to work with mysterious luxury brands only.

Tonight's hot date

@clairestrickett So good! Pomo Willy Wonka meets Kafka, something like that. Oh, but i bet it’s especially common at DATA DRIVEN workplaces 😜

@Strictandfun I love that episode (obviously) AFFIRM MY FEELINGS WITH DATA

My Roman Empire is the fact that open plan offices are proven to be absolutely terrible conditions for working... and yet nowhere I've ever worked seems to have questioned this approach. A clear route to competitive advantage for agencies, but apparently no takers

@clairestrickett Funny just listened to a pod episode (Cautionary tales) about this Yesterday and thought the same thing. Hot desking keeps coming up, even if it counters common sense.

@ianvisits Sucked all the life out of it ironically.

And in the Gospel of St Marketing, the peoples of the land of kitchen, having worshipped the everlasting sign of the Golden Syrup, shall turn unto a new god, a new logo is revealed, and great lamentation was heard throughout the land. Oh, syrup, why hast thou forsaken us?

@Fly_Norwegian Thanks!

@kittycatboyd Not thaat insane. For a short while, about 15 tears ago, Swedes could get a one-off year off work at 70% pay

Remember the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan is estimated to have rendered 5.3 million Afghans refugees, and the war on terror overall is estimated to have displaced 37 million ppl. It entailed an average of 46 bombs dropped per day. The humanitarian crisis that never was.

Ken Loach is a national treasure. Period.
