History Of The Graphic Burst


A graphic burst is any jagged, radial shape containing a typographic message or a picture. Burst messages are usually short as in 'Free' or 'On Sale.'

Sometimes the burst is part of a product logo and an integral part of a package's design. More often, it is a 'violator' in the sense that it's a sort of graphic intrusion, temporarily violating the integrity of the more 'permanent' package design. But where did the graphic burst come from? Who used it first?
