Heightening awareness of design-driven objects.

Crayola colors. Politically correct.

Five more days to vote. Did you know Crayola’s evolution? A corporate ethos, marketing statement.

    I sometimes color with my nieces but had no idea how expansive Crayola has become. What a tribute to the humblest instruments of art. Makes me want to go out and buy the biggest box of crayons I can. That was the nice thing: the box is so complete.

    Why don’t you put up some crayon art on Design Applause?

    What an interesting article! I had no idea that the names of the colors evolved this way. Makes you wonder about other product names.

    The artwork is really cool!

    Designapplause is innovative in its approach to everything. This history of the crayola is great.
    I’m sure everyone at the next cocktail
    party I attend will leave thinking I am the
    most knowledgeable person about crayolas
    they’ve met. I also love the featured design
    items – how do people think like this?

    I went as one of many crayons to amaze and entertain the children at work. Would you like me to forward a copy of the photo?!!

    Spread the love!
