Excellent!  And the article is right.  EVERYONE is going to know who they are, and you couldn't buy that kind of publicity.

"and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend."

I guess they designer wanted to visually associate part of their logo with that statement?

So I'm looking at the article and telling my wife, "What's the big deal? I've seen other logos at a 45 degree angle before. You can still read it". Then she says, "Take a closer look..."








"OH!"


My wife has a dirtier mind than I do!  ;D

This tells me all is well and happy with the Carlston's marriage and George is not relegated to less sociable - eye-sight impairing - adult recreational scenarios ...  :D :D :D Way to go!!!


PS: George, if you don't understand this post, let your wife explain it to you!  ;)
