The Writing’s on the Wall
Sometimes, three eyes are better than two. Hieroglyphics, the Oakland-based hip-hop group, prove this point very well: Their band’s famous logo is a three-eyed and tight-lipped variation on the smiley face, a symbol of their star status that remains as unique as it is ubiquitous in the rap underground.
