Client – ASI
Location – Danville, California
Design – John Paul & Linda Gilligan
Notes – When this client was completing his MBA, he told his classmates that one day he would own a company called Amalgamated Sprockets Inc. – think “Jetsons”. So, when he became the owner of a few McDonald's restaurants, he honored his statement and used this creative franchise name. We created the shadowed golden arches logo.


In Moscow a number of years back, four of us stopped by the then-new McDonald's on the Arbat. After totaling our order, the register crashed, displaying "KAPUT" in German (not Cyrillic) characters.
