Writer, artist and photographer Steve Lovelace has cooked up a map of the U.S. highlighting the most famous brand from each of the 50 states (click the map image above for a closer look).  He made the subjective call on which brands made the cut, and quibblers will definitely have other candidates that should reach the bar, but it’s a fun click worth your time.

There’s a story at Adweek about it too.  And a deeper message from the artist here.

Hat tip to @tedabernathy for the pointer.
