A Load of Rubbish

Lurking amongst the endless mounds of rubbish we consumers throw into landfills, there are actually a few hidden gems to be found. No I don’t mean something you should have taken to The Antique Road Show with your granny on a Sunday afternoon. I am talking about those tiny little logos that adorn many items of packaging whose purpose are to try and encourage us all to dispose of our unwanted wrappers responsibly.

To the untrained passive eye, these little golden nuggets of logo design can be overlooked, and perhaps naively mistaken as all being the same. On closer inspection of various examples of everyday packaging, it becomes apparent that the designers accountable for creating the artwork have had a little fun when adding the ‘bin it’ logo.

I have shown in this post just a small example of these interesting little graphics, but please free to email Brandy Media with any examples that you come across. The more unusual the better. If I receive a decent response I will re-post this article with the new logos.

Thanks in advance.
