icons



iconography
we see icons we are familiar with everywhere. Icons familiarize people with everything from products to instruction.
I always enjoy this starbucks icon because i associate it with delicious drinks. a good marketing tool other coffee companies could use would be to have a circular green logo to lure people in, and once they realize it is NOT actually a starbucks they are patronizing, they are too dead set on coffee that they don't care. I guess there are lawsuites, though.
I chose to Lincoln as my icon because he is associated with so many things; money, power, assassination, bold leadership, gigantism, ect.
I figured it would be interesting to try to capture all of that in a simple profile.
