Feel this
Logos & logotypes of today are all bland, colourless, mind-numbingly boring & completely unmemorable.
What if we revamped some of today's tech company logos with 1980s creative zing?

So when mass shootings of average people and school children occurs, it's all "there's nothing we can do, these things just happen" but when a CEO gets shot, we need a special hotline, new safety protocols, and to lock up housewives over frustrated phone conversations.
Got it.

It is grimly, grotesquely fascinating that we have evolved this a truly satirical, impossible-to-fictionalize dystopia where tech companies are needing to buy and build their own *nuclear reactors* to power AI systems that can’t even tell you how many Rs are in the word “strawberry.”
