At least we know where our increases went this year. Unsurprisingly, management has sent out a memo that they will not be taking any further “suggestions” from the gallery. Humourless plonkers.

I’m trying to imagine a donkey being soaked in acid. unfortunately, using that image that as a corporate logo invites comparisons with hot tubs and bubbles. add a champagne flute and the image becomes outright celebratory.
everyone knows screams of pain are often mistaken for screams of pleasure.

There’s no doubt about it; branding is Big Business. The entire design industry is built on the unending desire to rebrand. Does it ever work? Would the word “rebrand” have been invented if it did?

I was working for El Paso when Enron got their new logo – El Paso was one of the several Enron lookalikes. Instantly aggrieved, managemnt got a now logo too.
