This just gets worse! 8 minutes (R5.9 million) does not quite go together. Have the board of the OOOO thought of getting it redesigned?

Just crazy. There’s a great video on YouTube of a guy recreating this logo in under 8 minutes! Unbelievable!

/shock

That looks like it was ripped from some cheap product from the 70s. I can’t believe they got paid $800,000 CDN for it! When is it a good idea to stylize text like that? I can’t think of a reason other than to show university students how NOT to design a logo.

I should apply for my 800 grand.

That is terrible, just terrible, then they get paid a massive R5.9 mil for it too!! Does the governing board have a say, and can they stop this mess? I heard that they had said that it is not the brand though, maybe I read wrong.

No no no, you don’t understand. It’s not a logo, its a brand, a way of thinking… apparently…

That’s the advertisement. DON’T watch if you have epilepsy.

I was absolutely horrified to see this logo on the TV (it’s even worse when animated)… for a cool £400,000, I’d have done their logo, captions, and everything. I’d even have thrown in a cuddly toy. It’s just abhorant to anyone with an ounce of design sense.

All they’re saying is that London is 35 years out of date when it comes to design.
