Disastrous logo for Office of Government Commerce

Design news: I saw this on the BBC’s Have I Got New For You TV programme on Friday. But it’s so hilarious, I thought I’d share it here. The new logo unveiled by the Office of Government Commerce last week has turned out to be a real cock-up. It’s remarkable that for £14,000 (around US$30,000) the designer didn’t even have the foresight to consider the many different ways their design might be viewed.
