I like your choice because it’s clear that a domino was implemented into the logo but I never would have guessed that it had a deeper meaning and the number of dots on the dominos represents the number of stores they had at the time.

I didn’t realize the Pinterest logo was in the shape of a pin until now and I also didn’t know the meaning behind the red in the logo. It is a very simple logo and it is easily rememberable, they have done a great job at marketing and it is no surprise they have so many active users.

I agree with your first statement, being at a job where you’re overworking and the work you’re doing isn’t even being acknowledged can be just as damaging as having to do the extra work. When a boss has a good relationship with his employees mistakes like this will not be made.

I completely agree with your response to the second question, I believe healthy communication is one of the most important things to have when it comes to the workplace, and having a relationship with each employee can take a company to the next level.
