I love a good work of food art. I am a food network challenge junkie. Who doesn’t want to play with their food? I stumbled upon some fun pancakes created by a man named Jim who says humbly that he is “just trying to make some cool pancakes for my daughter.” And, yes. They are very cool. He blogs about his pancake art, complete with pictures of his adorable little daughter enjoying them. And I happen to LOVE the pancake typography at the top of his blog.

Many people believe that a logo is great when it is undeniably recognizable amongst its competition in the marketplace. Or if it is an icon, if it can stand alone without it’s name counterpart. I guess the same goes for those logos who end up being sacrificed for the sake of cheap knock off items at the flea market? While I am a complete fan of cheap knock offs (i.e. Coach purses at the Eisenhower flea market), are these beneficial or detrimental to the brand equity of the actual product. Obviously they take away a small profit margin for the companies, but hey, the brand is still getting out there. On the other hand, who wants to carry around the same bag that a homeless woman keeps her lunch in…
Anyway, if you can’t afford the real deal. Bussey’s flea market has the hook up on the next best thing in permanent markers. They were right next to the machete’s.
I heart Skerple.
To the rescue
