14. Burger King's first rebrand in 20 years focuses on the American fast-food restaurant's food and its past says its
designer Lisa Smith, executive creative director at Jones Knowles Ritchie.
"We explored a lot of different design territories, but kept coming back to the brand's original iconic logo from 1969
and 1994 when Burger King looked at its best,”
"We were inspired by how it has grown to have such an iconic place in culture – from Back to the Future, Gremlins
through to more recently Stranger Things and BK’s Warhol campaign," she continued. "The new logo pays homage
to the brand's heritage with a refined design that's confident, simple and fun."

37. Homework
Thursday 15 September
Update your Graphics Website
Home Page
The homepage is a good place to introduce yourself, write about why you
have chosen Graphics, describe your experience of graphics to date.
Don’t forget to choose a suitable theme – something professional looking
and fairly minimal in design so it doesn’t distract from the excellent images
you are going to share during the course. A white background is better than
any other colour in our opinion.
Keep your site organised and regularly topped up with new work. Organise
the menu sensibly and ask for help if you need it or want to do something
beyond your current skill set. Most of all, have fun!
