LOGO KIND OF MORNING

Just how many logos do we see in a day?


If logos are an “ultimate form of visual shorthand,” as Interbrand’s Gary Ludwig calls them, then we’re constantly processing information about brands and the people who use them from the moment we wake up. Staff writer Jeromy Lloyd recorded every nationally recognizable logo he noticed (and when he saw it, thanks to his Bulova watch) from the moment his eyes open in the morning, until he arrives at work in order get a sense of the role they play in his everyday routine.
