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.

Or maybe they thought no one else would notice.

My comment in the staff meeting unveiling this logo would be:

“Is that a banana our logo is packing, or it it just happy to see us?”

They’re going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before.

No he did not just say that.

and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on

another unfortunate turn of phrase

The logo, for the Office of Government Commerce, was intended to signify a bold commitment to the body’s aim

Well, it's a commitment to someone's aim.

“improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement”.

Now, I'm concerned about how spending about $30,000 to make a logo from three letters crammed together shows how they are "improving value for money". It's not like they even had to decide which letters - those were already picked for them.

Too bad. At first I thought this thread might be about the Originoo Gunn Clappaz.

  Someone made some pencils for school kids that said "Don't Do Drugs." After a few weeks, the sharpened pencils read "Do Drugs" since they had placed the "Don't" on the sharp end of the pencil. Someone wasn't thinking ah...

The Missouri Department of Corrections revamped their administrative structure in the 80’s and decided to give the staff person who supervised a specific housing unit within a prison a new title. They selected “Functional Unit Coordinator.”

It took a whole week for someone to realize, in a governmental agency which refers to everything by acronyms composed of initials, what the acronym would be for that staff title.

That staff title is now “Functional Unit Manager” or FUM.

Just imagine what would happen if the government in the Congo came up with this logo...
