WHOOPS
The Office of Government Commerce, a British government agency, somehow failed to notice what this logo would look like
if it was rotated 90 degrees.

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

The artist who designed that should be hung. Or is.

"and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.” Nice choice of words.

Ya'll need to remember that the Brits adorn their hillsides with erect penises as in the Cerne Abbas giant.

Is that your logo or are you just happy to see me?
Posted by: Alien Wench Lizzy | April 24, 2008 at 10:25 AM
WHY would anyone rotate a logo 90 degrees? Why?? Really, truly, WAY too much time on their hands...

Is The Office of Government Commerce part of the UK's Ministry of Schwing?

"and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend"
Well, I don't know much about stick figures, but I'd say there is a firm grip on somethin' alright.

LMAO. And it's true OGC in all caps looks funny in many common fonts. It's like the new way to flip people off in text!

From the Wikipedia article on "OGC"
(No Dave, I am not making this up, although I suspect it may not last long...)
"On 24 April 2008 it was reported in "The Times" and the "Daily Telegraph" that a new logo for OGC had been introduced at the cost of £14,000 which included a demonstration of a performance on the pink oboe."
