　　【Trancript】
I love the design so much
A：I went to visit a customer in IVS Company the other day. Their offices were very impressive, especially their company Logo which is all over the place. There are Logo models in metal, copper¹, clove², paper. They are even printed on the wall paper and the balls of the table-lights. It is really decorated identity.
B：It is just too much. Don’t you feel it is an exaggerating style to decorate offices in that way?
A：Not at all! I like the design so much. The designer must have thought really hard to come out with such a brilliant concept.
B：Wow, I doubt that.
