The Cardinal's current design is fairly stock. One plain color with the logo featured in a medium size. It's not bad, but there's a lot of room for creative improvement. The artist's designs are mainly just resizings of the cardinal logo, but that's not a bad thing, even if it is the most direct creative route.
The top right and the bottom left take two different approaches to the giant sized cardinal head. I tend to like that type of design when the mascot's eyes are big and prominent like they are here. The bottom right is likely to attract more old school fans since it is similar to the old logo with some added features, like the split color top and bottom. The silver is a nice touch as well, but in this case, these new designs make the old one look good.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
