plime.com : OGC logo 90'CW

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.

That's one of the funniest thing I've ever seen. I'm so glad that was created and that I was fortunate enough to see it. I'm sending that to everybody I know. It's so simple, yet I'm sitting at my desk, laughing like a nut job.

Holy crap, I just realized some of the quotes in the article. I don't know if these were intended or not...

“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.”

and

“They’re going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before. If I were them, I would be pretty pleased.”

OH! So THAT'S what OGC means... I've been seeing that around on other forums and stuff and couldn't figure it out.

they spent 14,000 Euro on that?!?! It's just three gray uppercase letter, apparently no one knows how to waste money like the government.

That is funny though.

OMG! I'm a graphic designer. I HATE doing logos. I am SO going to turn any logo I do every which way I can in the future. Good lord, how embarrassing.
