While some with more vivid imaginations suggesting viewed in a certain light, the logo was reminiscent of an unsavoury sex act. Ridiculous..

Why the fuck couldn't they just write "blowjob"

Haha! I hadn't even noticed that.

This is just one more example of absolute crap that is pushed and marketed. There is so much great creative work going on in the UK (especially London!) but then we get this nutty turd.

Can you tell I hate it?

The Chicago logo, on the other hand, is pretty cool and apt (the flame is the shape of the Sears Tower - the most recognizable landmark in Chitown):

that Chicago logo is history. They have to scrap it and start again.

After sleeping on it I've decided I really do quite like it - though that animated gif ^^ is kind of ruining it for me.

Anyway, check out the film they put together on the brand, pretty cool:

Yeah it was the bit where the diver goes into the pool and the water turns into a swirl of flashing shapes and colours. Even I had to look away and I don't even suffer from any type of seizure. Just bad design.
