We're back with zoos again, and we've already decided that next time we need to have a logo designed for any purpose, we're going to go directly to someone who's just finished a project for a zoo. It's obviously where all the talent is hiding out. Great use of white space is what the Kolner Zoo logo is all about. A mighty elephant is a great choice to advertise a zoo with, but there's more here to enjoy than just the elephant.
If you're not a German native, you may not be aware that Kolner Zoo is in the city of Cologne. There's a little acknowledgment of that fact in the shape of the white points between the elephant's back legs - they represent the city's famous cathedral. We also have both a giraffe and a rhino hanging out within the elephant's silhouette. As for why the elephant is starry-eyed - we're afraid we have no idea, but we hope it doesn't mean that the zoo is only rated one star.
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.
