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

Loco logo supposed to be one side of a fork leg

I can't see that, can someone explain please?

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

You need to be more open in your interpretation

I got the rude ones earlier btw, but couldn't really think of anything to say. Not even 'lol'.

?

I wonder whether the goatse ones are intentional or innocent.

Maybe trying too hard with the Garmin logo but I saw the white space above the N as the triangulation from the crux to the three satellite points as in GPS.

I still don't get why the garmin logo is 'clever'
?
Me neither. It's not like you need to be a genius to work it out. I kept looking for something more subtle and was rather disappointed with the explanation TBH.

so it's logo with a triangle on?!!

Wunhundred!

I just liked how a simple and inoffensive design suddenly took on new meaning when I 'got' it.

The British Rail logo ^^^^ is amazing though - one of the best pieces of informatics around.

Is it just me who sees all these logos as really winky?

all it needs to do is tell you what the company is.

All the "cleverness" just detracts from thsi - Like LOCos logo.

Seems to me like a circle jerk

I don't suppose you would appreciate anything to do with brand profiling though TJ - after all, you like to sit naked at home eating value baked beans.

😉

There's some great ones on this page:

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.

Yes!

TeeJ is immune to all kinds of advertising and marketing, doncha know 🙂

I'd put the BR logo as one of the best because it's so recognisable without words, genius.

Indeed. He is known as the 'Incorruptible One', in advertising circles.

I can't decide if it'd be a good thing or a bad thing if TJ was in charge of commerce and business.. 🙂

Apparently the NHS logo has 98% *UK* brand penetration (ie, 98% of interviewed respondents in a survey recognised the logo).

I assume the remaining 2% are either blind or pathologically stupid.

I suppose logos aren't needed then, really. We could just write the names in black Arial and be done.

mrs deadly reports from the agency where she is freelancing today, that she heard coming out of a brainstorming session..."Yeah Tris, that's the best thing you've ever come up with it, but it ain't gonna crack TJ"...and this is as far down as Bristol!

Yup 🙂 Hence why the NHS one is so good - it just says what it is in simple clear text.

Loving the attacks on me - emperors new clothes again?

Always loved the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) logo.

Loving the attacks on me

Can someone do a sense of humour logo for TeeJ please? FFS TeeJ, can't you see it's just teasing, no matter how much you'd like it not to be 🙂

Sorry DD - yes I knew it was teasing. Loss of nuance via text.

Those aren't attacks TJ. That's just your (drug-induced) paranoia.

OCG on its side is genius!

Nowt drug induced about my paranoia. Just because I'm paranoid it does not mean you are all out to get me

Just because I'm paranoid it does not mean you are [b][i]not[/b][/i] all out to get me

FTFY 🙂

Of course the NHS 'brand' is massive and much, MUCH more than just Frutiger Bold Italic reversed out of a Pantone300c box. The last time I looked, there was about 12 different sets of brand guidelines for different users and services of the NHS brand.

Which is where the logo / brand argument kicks in. A logo is a tiny component part of a brand...

Woo!

I'm always the one saying "EDIT: Beaten to it...again".

Thanks druidh.

|and the NHS is not a brand. 🙄

brand

Now, now...this is only going one way...it's all been good natured so far 🙂

Yeah - I got the "You move too fast" box!

Brand = Name.

you can call a cat a dog but it remains a cat.

Thats just part of the money wasting circle jerk

Or just stick your fingers in your ears, sing "laa, laa, laa" and pretend you can't hear.

you can call a cat a dog but it remains a cat.

Snot really the point though. It's the difference between calling a cat a cat, a scabby old moggy, a beautiful silky feline, a finely honed killing machine etc etc etc.

Not at all Druidh - its simply not buying it. 🙂

I pity anyone who believes in all this stuff and who wastes their life and / or money doing it.

TeeJ straying across the complete bolllocks line. Somebody lasso him and drag him back...purleeeassse! 😮
