Cisco might be a world leader when it comes to internet networking, but based on their logo design we'd have to say they're also a world leader when it comes to subtle brilliance in the marketing department. This seemingly-simple design not only symbolizes what the good people at Cisco do for a living, but also pays tribute to their origins. Cisco is named in honor of the city where they first set up base, and still have their headquarters - San Francisco, California.
The pattern of the blue stripes above Cisco's name should look very familiar to you - and even more so if you work within a scientific or engineering profession. This is what an electromagnet looks like, and so it's a great design to go for if you work in networking. Not only that, though, but the lines are also composed in the same pattern as the construction of San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge. We suppose they could have made it red to make it more obvious, but then the subtlety would be lost.
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.
