Quinn Wong called upon the talents of Steven Noble to create a unique and creative logo for their new up and coming restaurant called Buffalo Theory in downtown San Francisco back in 2011. The theory goes: “a herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And, when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. 

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more  efficient machine!” 

The illustration includes a conceptual series of gears, cogs and pistons that show the interior workings of the buffalo.
