Burger King Studio Kiosk

Very clever:

In celebration of the opening of the World’s First WHOPPER™ Bar, we at the BURGER KING℠ Studio were asked to design and build a boutique store at Universal CityWalk® in Orlando, FL. It had to come together fast, but we think you’ll dig what we were able to put together. We’ll have a bunch of your favorite shirts for sale, some new stuff that you haven’t seen, plus as a special treat, we’ve ported our little t-shirt creator from this website to some 24” touch-screens and updated the art library. If you’re in town, you’ll be able to design your own t-shirt and we’ll print it for you on our shiny new DTG (Direct-To-Garment) printer right at the BURGER KING℠ Studio Kiosk.

I've already praised the Burger King t-shirt creator.
