We think most people can see what electronics firm LG is doing with their logo - what we're less clear on is why. They've incorporated both the letters of their name into their logo, but then correctly assumed that a logo made up of nothing more than letters would be boring, so they've added a few more details. To the majority of people who look at the LG logo, it's a winking face, looking back at them. Given the strange arrangement of the facial features, it could almost be a Picasso.
We'd like to offer you a different take on this logo. Imagine if the 'g' was tilted about45 degrees to the right. Suddenly it's not a face looking straight-on at us at all - it's 1980s video gaming legend Pac Man. Pac Man makes a great logo for an electronics company, although it would make a little more sense of LG were involved in making video games. We may never know why they went for this logo design, but it's memorable.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
