Brand Logos Turned Into Medieval IllustrationsHave you ever wondered how modern brands of today would market their wares and services to people in medieval times?Well, we think that part of their strategy would be making sure that travelers and potential customers will be able to distinguish their stores in the middle of similarly shaped and designed structures. After all, we really shouldn’t expect the signature designs, such as the big “M” logo in front of a McDonald’s during this older era. Artist Ilya Stallone shows the logo of what today’s companies, such as McDonald's, Twitter, and Amazon would look like during the medieval period. He reimagines these well-known symbols that can easily be placed in the Middle Ages manuscripts. Additionally, he also adapted the aesthetics of that period, which was to lean into a more macabre sense of humor. Check out more of his illustrations here!​image credit: Ilya Stallone via My Modern Met#images #illustrations #logos #brands #McDonalds #Facebook #RalphLauren #art #IlyaStallone 
McDonald's I'm Lovin' It Jingle "Sung" in Sign LanguageOne of McDonald's missions is to promote diversity within its restaurants and beyond. So far, it has been doing an excellent job establishing this mission by bringing families and friends of different cultures together through its food. To further this campaign, McDonald's has partnered with the amazing Finnish rapper Marko Vouriheimo, also known as Signmark. Together they are raising awareness about deafness. They created campaign material wherein Signmark, who is deaf, performs the song using sign language. The catchy and visually beautiful tune is being promoted across TV and online platforms. The song is entitled, "Togetherness starts with understanding", and promotes inclusivity. Paparapapa, we are definitely lovin' it!Video credit: @McDonaldsSuomi on YouTube#McDonalds #Deaf #Awareness #SignLanguage

Airline Passenger is Fined $1,874 For Failing to Declare McDonald's BreakfastHave you ever thought that McDonald's famous McMuffins can be a reason for trouble? This passenger surely did not.A plane passenger from Indonesia to Australia was forced to pay a fine of $1,874 because of the two undeclared egg and beef sausage McMuffins and a ham croissant that were uncovered in their luggage. This incident happened days after the Australian authorities became stricter with their biosecurity rules to control the spread of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). Apparently, there had been an outbreak of the disease in Indonesia. The disease was found to be carried by live animals, in meat and dairy products, on clothing, footwear, or luggage. This means that this McMuffin was considered to be a risk product, especially since it was undeclared. One might find the fine outrageous because it is twice the cost of airfare to Bali, but authorities likely think the cost of potentially spreading FMD is greater. Image credit: CNN Travel#McMuffins #Australia #FootAndMouthDisease #Indonesia #McDonalds #Travel

Minnesota Teen Sydney Raley Climbed Out a Drive-Thru Window and Saved a Customer Who was Choking on a McDonald's Chicken NuggetSydney Raley, a 15-year-old teenager from Minnesota, has proven that the youth is capable of heroism. Sydney had been working at McDonald's in Eden Prairie for around seven months when an unfortunate event happened. After giving a customer some of her order via the drive-thru window, Sydney popped back out of the window and told her that the remaining order was on the way. Suddenly, the teenage McDonald's employee noticed that the customer was choking on a chicken nugget. According to Sydney, the customer was coughing like crazy and gagging, and that the customer's daughter was freaking out which confirmed her assumption that she was choking. Sydney quickly told her manager and the customer's daughter to call 911, and then jumped through the window to help the woman. Sydney's experience in Red Cross babysitter class at the age of 11 came in very handy as she knew what to do. After a couple of tries, however, she realized she needed the help of a bystander to assist her with the maneuver. After getting some help, they were able to remove the stuck food from the woman's throat. Sydney got a lot of praises from the woman as well as a monetary reward from the police department for this good deed.#McDonalds #GodDeed #Hero #Heroism Image credit: CNN US
