I feel like the difference between art and design is that you shouldn't need to know any of the back story for design, it should just look right, even if the lay person can't quite tell you why it looks right. Nobody needs the backstory on the Nike tick. You don't need to be told that the lines on the FedEx logo are beautifully balanced.

What lines?

The ones that form the embedded arrow.

Never understood the hype around that.

Because it looks like a little chess king, instead of anything to do with Westinghouse or electronics?

Well, if a little boy said it, might as well agree with him!
