inside, the TMZ brand is expressed physically and visually, using pieces like a graffitied version of the hollywood sign and a map of LA highlighting the thirty-mile zone (TMZ) of hollywood-based studio. replica bombs hang over the lunchroom in reference to the company’s signature style of news reporting.
