pentagram, the place old graphic designers go to retire.

i think that a lot of pentagram's work is evidence of how impossible it is to design effective work for bureaucracies... there's no way any of them think that this is a good logo, for example... it was clearly just a cluster f of board members and agencies "directors" etc.:
i wouldn't be surprised if this "hip" chicken shirt is more of the same. i doubt they think it's "good," and it was probably client driven.

At the end of the day, if you take on a fried chicken brand as a client you're on a hiding to nothing because the competition is just so strong...

So DJ Stout has had THREE fried chicken clients?!
That is actually very LOL. His design legacy will be king of fried chicken branding.

Lucy's Fried Chicken looks good if they didn't just clean up this logo:

Which has been a Philly bar for as long as I can remember.- Sure it could be argued that it wasn't "inspiration" but I think they are too similar.calcium
- Too me, the Hat Shop logo was updated, and then Fried Chicken was added underneath.calcium
- Meh. Now you're pulling at straws.d_rek
- Wo, you can totally are the similarities.Hombre_Lobo

It took until 2012 for people to realize Pentagram is irrelevant?

they've brought on two new partners in the past month, so they're either doing something right, are trying to make a shift of some sort.
