Tom Galle, an artist who's known for his unconventional work that speaks to the impact of corporations, consumerism, and various aspects of popular culture, recently unveiled a series of weapons that are inspired by iconic company logos.
Included in the series is a 'Facebook Crowbar,' 'McDonald's Brass Knuckles,' and a 'Nike Knife.' The Facebook Crowbar is twisted into a lowercase letter "f" to form the social media giant's logo, while the McDonald's Brass Knuckles feature the fast food chain's golden arches in a dangerous fashion. The Nike Knife makes use of the sportswear company's 'Swoosh' logo, forming a vicious-looking blade that comes to a thin point.
To promote the art pieces, Galle shared styled shots of them on his Instagram page.
