[Closed] Clever logo... (well I thought so anyway)

That's it...once seen...

Subtle!

im not in the 'know' here? 🙁

Too subtle for me

me neither, do tell?

The arrow above the N makes it look like a compass point...

If you turn it upside down you get the coordinates of the Garmin headquarters. v subtle. I like it.

And molly ruins it... 🙁

Simple but marvellous given what their products do (theres a big hint) 😉
Bugger, stoner spilled the beans!

That's it? Given MFs lead in, I was staring at it like a magic eye pic waiting for a pert bottom to appear.

Exactly - satnav products and a compass point on the logo. I must have seen it thousands of times but never twigged until Saturday.

I bet that was one of those 'knock off early chaps, we've sorted the logo' moments when the designer came up with that.

BTW - the pert bottoms reference was to the fact the riders (not sure what team) have the logo on the back of their shorts.

When I got my first Garmin GPS (a Geko) the only waypoint stored in it was that of Garmins HQ. Do they still do that?

Oh - and I'm another who has seen that logo countless times (I even have a Garmin cycle jersey) and it's never clicked.

Yes, they still do it. I wonder if there's a geocache there?

And I also had never noticed it until this thread 🙂

You been checking out David Millar's arse?

mleh. not that special. this is my company logo and Im sure I predate Garmin....oh, maybe not 😉

Jesus, that's shit Stoner!

Did you knock it up in Paint or something? 🙂

so whats the fedex one?

The arrow between the E and the X

I don't care....I am going to find a pert bottom in that logo if it kills me!

Enhance!

.......bugger.

E&X make an arrow

LOVFL at Jamie !!!!!!!

E&X make an arrow

powerpoint, natch 😛

so where's your sawdust and PVA logo then corporate-boy?

You think I'm going to post it up here to be ridiculed to the point of inducing suicide? GTFOOH! x

I reckon they just wrote FedEx in that font and then later suddenly realised that it made an arrow.. so they pretended that they meant it all along by writing white papers about it.

No wonder Stoner can only rustle up one days work each month 🙂

DD's company slogan is 'Oooh, Mr Darcy!'

I prefer "Got Wood? Get Laid!"

It incorporates a blouson shirt and wet breeches! 😀

Actually, anybody fancy knocking up a new one for me? Mine does need refreshing and mrs deadly can't be arsed 😉

Depends, do you lay paving slabs?

I would do it for free but given your wife is a designer but can't be arsed, I don't see why I should be 😉

There's also the A-Style logo...

The arrow between the E and the X

so obvious once you know, any chance it was a coincidence you reckon?

The article with the designer from Landor (so I believe it will have been very deliberate - you don't get to be a designer at a place like that without having some flair).

I don't think the 'censored' board needs to be that big 😉

If I have a flaw, it's being too generous.

Oh, and Stoner, YR LGO IS SARACING.

I think this is a clever one on a few levels- can you work it out without reading the image info???

[img] [/img]

quite like that - its sort of visually onomatopoeic

Level 42?

you don't get to be a designer at a place like that without having some flair

Flair in being a smartarse perhaps, but I think the whole logo is pretty egregious.

Heh.

egregious in the modern of archaic sense? 🙂

Mark from Polar 10 design did cracking job (I think, or maybe this is covered by the exspensive kit thing where if you spent a lot on it it's got be be great 😉 ) on the Loco logo supposed to be one side of a fork leg: http://www.polar10.com/

Mitchell and Webb (I think) did a good sketch about the Olympics logo, being a bit 'bum sexy' can't find a link for it though, classic.

visually onomatopoeic

Nice bit of graphic design bullshit 😆

It is a nice logo though.

Careful, you might have Namco on yer ass.

Made the mistake of saying a wanted a 'clean' design to the web designer who still takes the piss to this day 😳

Nice bit of graphic design bullshit

I'm not a graphic designer - but there isn't a word (that I'm aware of) for words that look like the thing they describe so onomatopoeic will have to do.

There also isn't a word (that I'm aware of) for that thing where a man and a lady share a bath, and the man farts and the lady has to try and bite the bubbles. (although I'm sure that the germans have a word for that)

Namco?

^namco made pacman I think

Have a browse through Urban Dictionary, it may well be lurking there somewhere 😛

Namco?

As Tom says.

You never noticed?

[img] [/img]

Ha haha, wasn't aware of that particular pratice, although I'll refer to it as a Namco from now on 😆

Had been mentioned, but very 'loose' 😀

Aww Jamie... haven't you got nice hand-writing? I've completely revised my opinion of you after analysing that.

maccruiskeen 😀

Loco I emailed you about my forks ages ago. They need a service.

What are they? and when is good for you Molegrips?

66 SL ATA1, the OEM ones from 2007. Book me in for the first week in August, and make sure you have the seal kit in stock 🙂

Whoever managed to get this logo on live BBC TV deserves a medal!

Don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life at something - although trying to explain my reason for laughter to the in-laws was interesting...

Molegrips, sorry I like TF don't work on ATA forks, Windwave maybe best bet

maccruiskeen - that's superb!

I took a couple of seconds xiphon. 😆

[img] [/img]

I'll do it myself then.. out of interest why not ATA? Or is it all Marz?

I don't get the last three pics...

I don't get the last three pics...

...and you never will!

MUAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

ATA as can be a right pain, ok if work first time when reasembled if not can be very time consuming and not cost effective when they are playing up.

Cheers Jimmers. LOL moment for me.

I've had mine in bits but not the actual ATA assembly. Might just change the wiper seals and leave the rest.
