Rebus

For this week's type journal, the goal was to find a good use of a rebus. A rebus is a symbol that is used to represent a letter of the alphabet or a symbol used to represent a sound, phrase, or word. Rebuses are all around us, but the one that I found to put in this type journal is the classic Dunkin' Donuts wrapper. The four squares in the middle of the wrapper are each their own individual rebus: the map of the US stands for "America," the person running stands for "Runs," the word "On" stands alone, and finally the DD stands for "Dunkin' Donuts." I thought this was a clever way to reiterate the company's slogan. This wrapper was found back in October at a Dunkin' Donuts in Hamburg around 8:00 in the morning.
