Grid Control, Vol. 12: Meet the artistic crosswalk design equivalent of dogs playing poker.



Always identical logoed designs where mandated by engineers, not anything to be confused with grassroots creativity.

Always the Mark of Duggins. Can the NAHA anchor be far behind?

That's because Jeff Gahan must crush genuine creativity wherever it arises spontaneously. When you've declared yourself the font of wisdom, the source of civic knowledge and the leading role -- when you read an delight in your own press clippings -- this is what happens.

Right, Warren?
