		r0h1n on Feb 10, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Intercept OT, but it's interesting to note that two of the most promising new media startups - Re/Code and The Intercept seem to have very similar design/branding vocabulary. Both use nearly the same shade of red along with black and white as their primary colours. Then there's the fascination with the "/" - "The//Intercept" - https://firstlook.org/theintercept - "Re/code" - http://recode.net

I'm guessing The Intercept uses the slashes to mimic the separators used between different classification markers.

For example: TS // SI // NOFORN, etc.

You know what's better than 2 slashes?
