We might be a little bit biased about this logo, but only because the Nintendo Gamecube was such a great console. It was released during an era when the Sony PlayStation had started to eat into Nintendo's share of the market, but it was a strong performer with some great games, and it arguably never got the recognition it deserved. Nor did its fantastic logo, which is one of Nintendo's best.
The logo is essentially a cube inside a cube, and bears a strong resemblance to the device it was designed to market. The geometrically pleasing logo has more flair to it than that though - the harder outline of the cube makes the shape of a 'G,' and within it, the white space takes on the form of a 'C.' It's spelling out the initials of the platform for you, and using three dimensions to do it with. Very clever!
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.
