Full Frontal. Graphic, Too.
Cool is subjective - in my opinion a cool T is based on brand relevance, it depends on where it comes from and where it’s going. A bad T is a design that exploits current predictable pop culture art / design trends. I think a brand should represent its own original vision.

A Levi’s® customer or employee in South Africa is about 10 times more likely to be infected by HIV than their counterparts in most parts of Asia, Europe and the Americas.That’s a sobering fact.And it’s one of the reasons Levi Strauss South Africa worked with us at Matchboxology to launch Red for Life, a highly influential – sometimes controversial – communications campaign to drive HIV awareness. And save lives.Red for Life featured celebrities, musical artists and Levi’s®-branded condoms. As the pictures below illustrate, the campaign continues to make an impact, even five years after its launch.Why?
