Fun with logos

[Queasy]

Shenanigans. That's what. Click through.

It cost £14,000 to create, but clearly no-one at the smart London design outfit that came up with the new logo for HM Treasury thought to turn it on its side.

The logo, for the Office of Government Commerce, was intended to signify a bold commitment to the body?s aim of ?improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement?.

Instead, it has generated howls of mirth and what is likely to be a barrage of teasing emails from mandarins in other departments.

According to insiders, the graphic was already proudly etched on mousemats and pens before it was unveiled for employees, who spotted the clanger within seconds.

They had to pay Google who hold the copyright to the letter O. This post just cost me $.15!

A spokesman for OGC said: "It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters OGC - and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on Government spend."

That is the best part of the whole article. Can you imagine any spokesman in any US government office making a masturbation reference? I'm moving to Britain.

This was how I knew my first company was going to go under. They spent a ridiculous amount of money for some outside company to create a new logo with silly symbolism that looked more like a smiley face with a flaming eye.

That doesn't work with government agencies though...they just keep on sucking in the tax revenue.

 

[Skunkwourk]

i wonder how how it would have been to intentionally come up with something like that.
