Last night, Tattoo Projects held the UNC Charlotte Stake Your Claim reception party at the office. The purpose of the event was to gather some of UNC Charlottes “Key Influencers” to inform them of the new branding campaign the University is implementing. Inturn, these students will spread the word around campus to help everyone become aware of the Stake Your Claim campaign. Thank you to all who attended, we had a great time and enjoyed meeting you.

Here is an interesting interview with Rob Janoff, the creator of the Apple logo.
One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn’t dream of a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope, and anarchy.
Being in the advertising field, it is interesting to know how such as simple design has become such an iconic symbol, with the longevity to last nearly four decades.
