If we asked you who had one of the coolest, cleverest logo designs out there, we imagine you'd get a long way down a list of potential guesses before you arrived at the London Symphony Orchestra. Orchestras definitely sound incredible when they're in full flow, but they tend to be thought of as part of an old-world tradition instead of cool and cutting edge. Despite everything we've just said, take a look at that beautiful logo!
If all you can see are the letters which spell out the initials of the orchestra, you're not trying hard enough. Try again, and this time imagine the curve where the 's' meets the 'o' as the head of an individual. That would make the 'l' and the rest of the 'o' arms - and suddenly we have the outline of a conductor, standing at the front of the orchestra and directing them. It's so simple, and yet so beautiful - just like their music.
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.
