A Modest Proposal


A Modest Proposal, originally uploaded by Blog-Sothoth.

Billboard for Smyth Jewelers in the Charles Village Arts District. The National Bohemian logo proposes to the Utz potato chip girl.

Utz is actually a Hanover, PA, company. Hanover is the snack food capital of the world.



UPDATE: What does it say about the vacuity of our culture when advertising logos become sufficiently iconic to serve as celebrity spokesmen for other advertisers?

I hope those two don't have kids -- I think they're already related, and we don't need any more cherubic, alcoholic, salt-addled cyclopes running around Baltimore.

You must have been to Hon Fest!

Is the Utz girl even of age?

It says that logos, especially of local brands, make powerful statements. I wasn't from Baltimore and the billboard grabbed my attention.
