Do you feel like you are never going forward in life?

Hint: which way does the car drive?
Peter Doyle @ The Quay (Doyles fish restaurant)
Here is an example of a perfectly designed logo.
1. It is simple. Anybody could draw it and/or recognise it.
2. The type is perfectly suited to what it sells. A fish restaurant with 2 fish as the logo.
3. It is catchy (no pun intended). After seeing it, you realise that you could have come up with the idea, but didn't. Even if they had a hundred different designs, you would look at this one and say "Enough. This is the one"
Great work, Peter Doyle. Perhaps I will have to come and try your food someday.
A couple more quotes on memory
"Memory is a crazed woman that hoards colored rags and throws away food."
Austin O'Malley
"Some men's memory is like a box where a man
should mingle his jewels with his old shoes."
George Savile (Lord Halifax)
The genius of memory
"The charm, one might say the genius, of memory
is that it is choosy, chancy and temperamental;
it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs
the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust."
Elizabeth Bowen
