Great logo! A true story from today's British press...
The logo, for the Office of Government Commerce cost £14,000 to create, and 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 mouse-mats and pens before it was unveiled for employees, who spotted the clanger within seconds.
Staff have apparently now stripped their office of souvenirs bearing the logo, which could appear on eBay within days.
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.”
The OGC was created in the early days of the Blair Government and now has a staff of 564 with a head office in Norwich and other branches in London, Leeds and Edinburgh. Brand expert Michael Hamilton said while the logo’s double-entendre was probably not deliberate, it could prove an added bonus for OGC. “They’re going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before. If I were them, I would be pretty pleased.”

And can YAWL believe someone paid £14,000 for the logo?!?!?!?! --- It's only 3 letters in the century gothic font - kinda smooshed together:
OGC
Look familiar?!?!?!?!? It's so odd to think that someone paid for that shyt. I design graphics and would love to get paid such a hefty sum for my stuff (examples at JacquiiCooke.com) -- But to think that someone got away with that rip-off job is almost unfathomable.

too funny!!!
