UK news is always entertaining.

so the story is a simple one...a British government organization pays a ridiculous amount of money to have a logo designed...the logo looks alright as it is, it's just three letters...but when you turn it on its side, it looks a little...well....just look for yourself:


normal


ahhhhh hahaha.

the only thing that bothers me is that representatives from the OGC have already taken some of the best innuendos away in their own press releases:

“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.”

but will they ever be as pleased as the logo itself?

Speaking of awful logos from the UK, have you seen the horrendous London Olympics logo?
