Medicinal theatre?

in At the theatre
If you visit Berkeley Rep regularly, and certainly if you visit this blog, you're familiar with our logo. The circle with the clapping hands has symbolized superior theatre since it was designed for us in the late '70s by Walter Landor, the advertising guru who created the ubiquitous logo for cotton among other things.
This weekend, I encountered a brochure from another local business that made me chuckle. I saw a pair of hands on a postcard that looked somewhat similar to our logo, but upon closer inspection those palms clearly have other plans.
Check it out:
That's the logo for Harborside Health Center in Oakland, a medical cannabis dispensary. Judging from the postcard, we do have some things in common: "Close to parks and restaurants... Elegant, bright, cheerful environment. Attractive, clean & well-maintained restrooms... Full complement of staff who are: well-trained, courteous, compassionate."
Beyond that, well, I'm not sure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing. That sure doesn't look like cotton to me!
