Co-op is a UK supermarket chain and the brand used for the food retail business of The Co-operative Group, one of the world's largest consumer co-operatives.

This is the Exeter branch.

Yes. Exeter is a city in England. Co-op (short for “co-operative”) is a chain of grocery stores that was originally founded on principles of shared ownership [0].

Logos as in corporate designs, not Greek / Christian logos .

"Corporate designs" is technically accurate, but more specifically he primarily makes logotypes for heavy metal bands and other musical acts. A very cool, inspired pursuit.

My time to shine! I used to work with Krzysiu (Krzysztof). He used to have MySpace popular page and he was designing logos for heavy-metal bands - sometimes (if not always) for free. Really nice guy. Oh, and Exeter got to the front page...

Cześć Krzysiu! Pozdrawiam (We used to work at COOP HB)
