Logos in their natural habitat
One of the most alarming tragedies in graphic design today is that most logos live a unsatisfying existence in captivity. They are subject to brutal trademark infringement and often enlarged to unreasonable sizes by account directors all over the world. It’s very sad.
At last a group of design preservationists have courageously released a small group back into their natural habitats. It’s a step in the right direction. We applaud these caring souls.
