Harmony Extracts is a cannabis concentrate company that uses state-of-the-art extraction technologies to transform marijuana plants into potent concentrates. A new enterprise based in Denver CO, Harmony commissioned Pentagram to design its brand identity and packaging for the initial line of products. Rejecting the head-shop look of the bygone days, the Pentagram team decided to align the brand with the growing number of modern, clean, high-end dispensaries “that seemed to be on a mission to become the Starbucks of the cannabis retail world.”

American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee that automated vehicle technology holds great promise to enhance highway safety, boost economic productivity, and support trucking’s essential workforce. In order to harness this technology’s full potential, Spear emphasized that regulations must be consistent to avoid a patchwork of rules that treat highway users differently. “What’s needed first is a national framework that encourages development, testing and deployment of technology, in direct support of interstate commerce,” Spear said in a hearing before the panel’s Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. “Federal guidance should treat commercial and passenger vehicles equally and require automated vehicles to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance, rather than requiring the use of specific technologies.”
