Water Fountain

I recently noticed the huge streamlined water fountain outside of our lecture hall, and thought wow this is pretty old. I had never seen one with a step feature before, and I was pretty amazed that it was still working and quenching students thirst. This goes to show how design just really is everywhere, even when it comes to our water fountains. They don't have to be just plain and simple water fountains. Our water fountain has an air of elegance compared to its surroundings, its logo even appears to resemble a bow tie slightly. After taking a sip from the water fountain, I started to think about how somebody probably created the design to resemble a car or a train, and decided to add "the bowtie" as a finishing touch. I hope the water fountain lasts.
