When Twitter’s creative director Doug Bowman looks at the new “little blue bird” logo, he sees “the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.” When artist Adam Koford looks at it, he sees a cynical, addiction-riddled, burnt out clown.

When he isn’t remixing brand identities, Koford is a story artist at Disney Interactive, where he’s worked on video game versions of Bolt, Toy Story 3, and Cars 2. For more of his illustrations, you can check out his blog, Hobotopia.
