Gillette

Gillette

Until very recently, the advertising slogan of Gillette was 'the best a man can get.' For the sake of impartiality, we'll point out that other grooming brands are available, but there's no denying that Gillette is one of the most widely-recognized names within their sphere of industry. When you think shaving, you tend to think of Gillette. That's exactly what Gillette wants you to think, though, and they've made sure of it by incorporating a clever little feature in their design.

The Gillette logo looks bold and plain - and it is - but there's one little bit of flair happening within the first two letters. Look at the way that the opening of the 'G' seems to come out and slice off the top of the 'i' at an angle. It's like the word itself is so sharp that it's cutting the letters being used to spell it, and reminds you that Gillette razors are sharp and powerful. It's minimalism done well.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
