Pantone Honors Prince

So this is very cool. The Pantone Color Institute has announced "Love Symbol #2," a beautiful shade of purple to honor the late musician. 

The color of "Love Symbol #2" was inspired by the hue of a piano Prince was going to take on tour before his untimely death.

It will be interesting to see if this shade of purple becomes the "it" color in fashion - Prince's estate licenses everything, so I can see how this will turn into a money maker. I'm just glad Prince is getting a little nod this way. 

Prince finally gets his own purple Pantone color and it's called "Love Symbol #2" https://t.co/HyqVH2RFe3 pic.twitter.com/uM5wP4U4fv

That is pretty stinking cool. Still makes me feel sad to think of what a tragic, horrible, preventable death his was.

PANTONE! One of the last cool and amazing things in this world! Kudos for them to honor Prince with a special shade of Purple.

If only everything people did with Pantone colors was as classy, because, as with most things, 99% of Graphic Design is sh*t.
