What Happened to Christmas?
Studio 360 commissioned Pentagram to redesign Christmas.
Here's a few thoughts on the matter;
The purpose of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. After hearing about the redesign of Christmas (where Christ is completely removed from it) I knew the world is officially going down hill. More than ever is Christmas about making money as shown in some of the ".mas" examples. Besides the removing of anything sacred about this seasons, the design is not all that great. This is another example of the big name design firm getting away with something that no other firm could get away with.
I know that they aren't totally serious about this whole concept but why don't we put a little more time and energy into the "true meaning" of Christmas...Christ. After all, He is what we built our nation upon from the beginning.
