UK OGC's Embarrassing New Logo


Article Submitted by master911.

Red-faced officials at the Office of Government Commerce are trying to explain the thinking behind their new logo.

It cost £14,000 to create, but unfortunately nobody thought about what it would like when turned on its side.

The logo was intended to signify a commitment to the body’s aim of “improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement”.

Instead, it may turn the organization into a laughing stock.

Insiders say the logo was already emblazoned on to mousepads and pens before it was unveiled for employees, who spotted an 'alternative interpretation' of the logo within seconds.

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 organization that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.

That is the poorest logo I`ve ever seen. It`s so bland!

If anything, the mishap is just a plus to liven it up.

14,000$ to create that?! Either the designers sucked, or they designers brought up a bunch of cool concepts to the table and they (client) actually chose that one!

Throw lots of money at me too, I`ll give you some pornographic logos. haha! :P
