I found 2 printing-related jobs in my local classifieds and just out of curiousity checked out both companies online. One of them uses PAPYRUS in their logo. WTF? I wonder how many graphics/prepress people have gone there looking for work, and upon seeing the logo on the building just turned around and left.  :laugh:

Walking into a prospective employer and saying their logo is shit probably won't make the best first impression.

But if you do I want video of it.

Personally, I couldn't have genuine pride in working for a printing company that purposely uses Papyrus in their logo. It almost seems comical. I'm tempted to email their prepress dept and ask them about it.  :laugh:

"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

I'm surprised business owners even allow such a thing to take place at work. You're right...within a few days the company would have zero employees.  :laugh:

I think the odds are in favor of that not happening. :laugh:
