Another lion...

A lion a day keeps me happy.
Each day I go big game hunting - attempting to track down a graphic lion. This is surprisingly easy as so many abound across our urban landscapes. They stand proud in cityscapes: logos and decorative emblems across a myriad of contexts. Each day I record a new one - photographed and noted - adding to my visual collection - a graphic pride; a design cliche; a popular motif.
For me it's the Lion Rampant that's strong - the crowned lion another nice type.
The image of the lion on UK eggs, stamped in red, presents a symbol of quality - it provides reassurance. A trusted guardian...
