There is the book "Lovemarks" which talks about brands/branding that inspire an almost emotional sort of loyalty in consumers. Obviously the Nazis own the hatemarks.

I'd come out in hives if I had to touch that book. It has pleasingly withering reviews on Amazon.

Who is the lady in your icon?

[gfrancie]

Hee. I used to sell the book. It is awfully meta.

The lady is Julia Child.

Ah, I'm not so good on American cooks. I've only got as far as Betty Crocker.

I see Bryan Ferry hasn't learnt from the last time he espoused a love for the jackbooted branch of "design" then.

[restingpedant]

Ha, I wish. I wouldn't have had any trouble steering Bryan on to more interesting subjects.

I don't have a problem with his admiration of the work of Speer and Riefenstahl, but calling his home studio the Führerbunker? Hmm. And I don't believe for a moment that he shops in M&S.

And there I was thinking how the Murco logo looked like an amoeba and always went by wondering if oil molecules resembled amoebae in any way (even though I realise I know this not to be the case).

But no, now it's bumhole for me.

Bumhole or amoeba - the choice is yours, as they used to say on Blind Date.
