I was bored so I made a QR Code for the American Apparel website. I figured it would be a challenge because the design had to be both simple and clean, yet eye catching.
Do you remember the Alamo, or just crooked politicians who lied and stole? Do you remember when the world was at war, and the propaganda that united us in those country stores? When a handful of men, with printing presses and pens, gave guns to the masses to bring oppression to an end? Do you remember free speech, or just what they teach? Are you filled with enjoyment or anger when they preach? Do you remember the shanty towns, when the money was no longer around, and the demons we fought to stay rooted on this ground? Times are bad, but they've been worse, and this country is my favorite, if not only my first. We have the freedom to dream, to live and to love. The freedom to face adversity yet rise above. We are Americans, hate us if you wish. For better or worse, it is our home, and we are all misfits.
You know, when I restarted this thing up I never thought people would actually come here. It's weird watching that hit counter roll up. So in celebration I hope you'll listen to some music (above), have a generic beer (below) and relax. If I didn't say it yet, Thank You! *note: this was real product design for generic beer in the 80's*

When the two companies completely merged under one board to form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR), a combination logo was created. Although it still has elements of the CSCO logo (the pointed letters and the font curvature) the main layout was taken from the of the ITRCO logo. The first actual IBM logo appeared in 1924 when the company’s name was officially changed to Business International Machines. Because of the “international” nature of their sales, their logo i...
