It’s not much worse that Slovenia’s winning entry for a new tourism logo to replace the previous ’flowers’ logo – the heart-shaped thing on the right.

I’ve always liked Rem Koolhaas’ proposal for a new European flag.

“1. It was designed by Landor Italy.”
Say no more. Landor’s weakest suit has always been ’the visual’, (they obviously talk good).
Three different typefaces and a graphic to form a single word show no apparent skill at weaving them together.
A moment of sadness for all Italics, and sacrifice of a virgin black and white goat to hurry on Mercury, god of redesign.

Cheers!

You won’t forget it will

You won’t forget it will you? Isn’t that the whole point of a logo, really?

We do too have a logo. $

The new branding for Manitoba sucks, to be blunt.

At least the word “Manitoba” doesn’t require deciphering, and they kept the buffalo: I’ve seen waaaaaaaaaaaaay worse.

The new branding for Manitoba sucks, to be blunt. But not as bad as the Italy logo.

That german logo is tough!

I like it. It owes a great deal to the moving BBC ’ribbon’ logo though. If I find an example I’ll post it.

Argentina also has a logo.

Also, I was wondering if the completely flat top to the i is more of a feature of a didot than a bodoni. Most of the bodonis I’ve seen have a slight up-turn to the tops of their i’s.

I’ve never been ashamed of being Italian until now. :(

I’m sorry, but to me the green blob looks phallic. I don’t know why I’m seeing it that way, but now I can’t stop seeing it that way. :(

Is that green cucumber meant to resemble the shape of italy, or something?
Did no one of the contest jury realise the country doesn’t even have that shape,
at all?

If it’s meant to be something else, then what the hell is it. lol
