There Are Silly Logos
And then there are times when the entire marketing department should be shot
I'm guessing Hugh Grant was somehow involved with this.
The "Have Your Say"comments on the BBC are pretty entertaining.
Update: My Bride informs me that I should warn folks that the images below the fold may not be work safe.

Almost $800,000 for that crap? I'm in the wrong vocation!

"And then there are times when the entire marketing department should be shot".
Huh. There are times when they should not be shot?
Oops. Was that out loud?

Well, 2012 is the end of the world.......maybe this symbolizes the end of the world as we know it?

Well, this marketing department can shoot back. Not to mention we are pretty heavy on people with both MBAs and science Ph.D.s, so we have the horse sense not give a green light to the fellatio logo.

'Horse sense'? Would that be the Enumclaw office?

As opposed to Ken's marketing department, who often exhibit all the sense you can pack in to the southbound end of a northbound horse...

I thought Keith Haring was American. And, um, passed on.

The best part of this is reading the organizers talking about how the logo will "inspire" and change everyone's lives for the better because of it. Give me a break. It looks like a geometric pile of puked up Pepto Bismol.

Hmmmm.
Good Lord!
Someone got paid for this??

This is just... wow. I thought the lion and ball mascot for the World Cup was bananas, but this is a cornucopia of lousy.

I don't know about art, but I do know ugly crap when I see it.
It's like tangrams gone wild.

Wait, those things are supposed to represent digits? On what planet? Neptune?
