Never got David Hockney at all.

Still don't. What a weird marriage and poorly executed effort. Still made me laugh.

I 'get' Hockney, and I think he's actually taking the piss, it's a really shitty bit of design that sits perfectly with the 'newspaper' it's been 'designed' for.

.

I don't think it needs any help in that department. In point of fact he says he loves the Sun; so why not draw a nice pair of knockers on the front?

The actual design of the logo...

it's a homage to the typical doodlings of your average Sun reader; the working class man. Go and look at the newspapers in your canteen and you'll find plenty have been scribbled on in various ways. I'd liken it to a nervous "tic" done in automation when you have to spend 45 minutes sat at a table with work colleagues you struggle to get along with. It comes after the crossword....

Hockney was astute at outing working class repression, this underpins thier tortured ambivalence to Art.

It's simple. He's pointing out the paper is a joke not much more than a comic.
