The 'The ABCs of Branding' poster shows you the alphabet with a clever twist; the designer Jason Dean gives the alphabet a new meaning by using letters taken from famous logos.

If you look closely you'll see [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-water-beverage), [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order), Honda, [United](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anniversary-samba), Xerox and many more iconic brand logos.

'The ABC's of Branding' are made of embossed foil and come in silver foil on black paper or gold foil on cream.

**Implications** - The visual appearance of most text has predominantly remained neutral and repetitive -- take Times New Roman font for example. However, companies looking to introduce funky visual displays should consider playing with varying fonts.
