Well done that man! :D

A key feature of every bottle of Johnnie Walker scotch is the Striding Man logo. It was created in 1908 by illustrator Tom Browne to be a likeness of John Walker in traditional attire. In the logo, the man is walking forward, which Diageo says symbolises forward thinking and the pursuit of excellence.

Bollocks. What, is he doing the moonwalk there, or something?

Anyway :
This Johnnie Walker Blue Label collection also shows how Browne’s creation has changed with the times. In 1999, designer Michael Peters transformed the motif into an elegant and contemporary silhouette with a change in direction to walk purposefully from left to right.

Did I not just say this over the page?

Google Johnny Walker Logo and there's equal amounts of images walking in either direction.
I like him ... He says "Okie Dokie!"

There's a reason why HH still has his gloves on a string through the arms of his jacket...
