Logo Gets Excited, Rubs One Out

This, by far, is the best logo fuck up ever. Even better than that pedophilic one from that pediatric center. While the goof has been found out and may (or may not) be corrected, that didn’t stop employees of the UK’s Office of Government Commerce from having a laugh over it. Flip the logo 90 degrees to the right and you’ll understand the gaff.

Oddly and with perfect British wit, an OGC spokesman defended the logo: “The proposed version, which you have sent over, has been shared with staff, and is now going through final technical stages. It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters ‘OGC’ – and is not inappropriate to an organization that’s looking to have a firm grip on government spend!”
