Clever logo… (well I thought so anyway)

Might just change the wiper seals and leave the rest.

An entirely innocent comment, but when combined with the pictures above……. 🙂

molgrips – This link is REALLY REALLY REALLY NSFW! You have been warned!!

EDIT: There was a link, now it’s gone!

Loco logo supposed to be one side of a fork leg

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

xiphon & maccruiskeen genius, made me laugh.

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.

Deserved quoting.

@Xiphon

If that is what I think it is….delete before the banhammer falls.

Edit: Damn my clicky fingers….it is what I thought it was 😀

a Swedish goat site.

I still don’t get why the garmin logo is ‘clever’

?

Personally, I don’t think it is super clever, but its the N of a compass….and seeing as they make GPS stuff its quite apt I guess.

Hurt myself laughing at Captain Flash

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.

Me too. I can see how it looks like pac-man, though and if I really squint it almost says loco

I don’t get the last three pics…

You need to be more open in your interpretation

seen this around Munich:

always thought this was good, too:

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.

Wunhundred!

Each to their own – I just thought it had merit creatively. Simple, functional, describes the business perfectly. Having a logo that requires the viewer to be a genius isn’t necessarily a good thing.

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.

or if you turn it on it’s side……

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
