A friend and i were just discussing this exact thought the other week, it´s an obvious reaction as is the case with most fresh movements in art/design but in our opinion it is a welcome one - we´re all for it and are working hard to do something about it... first – nice post!

(i'm taking the piss) Agreed on all counts. Agreed. agreed. aggressive-passively agreed. This sort of lovey dovey branding is now starting to make me wrench a bit like Jack Black pulling his pants down. It started out innocently (pardon the pants pun) enough but then that innocence was used and abused throughout FMCG and beyond. I even saw a D and G "hug me" tee the other day. Part of the reason for my ever growing affection for Vice - sharp, awake, to the point, and most importantly - explicitly honest. I say bring back good old "commuincation in a robot voice" - it was funnier and in hind sight (what a wonderful thing) much more honest. PS hope you're addicted to checking your blog pps fuck off - buy me? Ooooh hello! (i’m taking the piss)

Been noticing this myself recently, same goes for the trend for childlike illustration and 'friendly' fonts, as nice as some of it is, it's all lies! :) Given me an idea for something actually...
