OGC: standing up for its right and sticking up for Britain

OGC is very clear on this:

Permission to use the OGC logo in any context and in any media must first be obtained in writing from OGC, please contact the OGC Service Desk.

So I hpe they’ve issued written permission to bloggers in Spain

No ven nada raro.Y si le volteamos unos 90 grados. Estas mentes sucias del gobierno siempre liándola. ¿Poco tacto o falta de creatividad? El nuevo diseño del logotipo de la Oficina de Comercio Gubernamental del Reino Unido (OGC - siglas en inglés-), cuyo diseño fue presentado el año pasado, ha sido criticado por sus supuestas connotaciones sexuales que despierta al ser girado 90 grados.

in France

Le nouveau logo de l’OGC (Office and Government Commerce), conçu par l’agence FHD London pour la modique somme de 14 000£ (21 000€wink : ça fait quand même 7 000€ par lettre, est l’objet d’un buzz sur Internet, et vous allez voir, ce n’est pas pour rien !

Leggo da Spotanatomy la notizia “curiosa” che l’Office of Government Commerce, l”ente inglese istituito per far chiarezza e aiutare a capire il sistema degli appalti pubblici, ha dovuto cambiare di corsa questo logo (foto in alto) costato ben 14.000 sterline.

in Greece

Το Βρεατνικό OGC (Offie of government Commerce) αποφάσισε να δημιουργησει ένα νέο Logo. Επένδυσε λοιπόν 14,000 λίρες και εμπνεύστηκε, δε ξέρω απο που το παραπάνω σήμα. Πως σας φαίνεται; Ακριβό; Τώρα; Ο εκπρόσωπος του OGV πάντως δήλωσε “It is true that it caused a few titters among some

and in various other places to which my language skills do not extend

这个LOGO是英国商务部(Office of Government Commerce)花14000英镑请人设计的.网站暂时还没换上这个新的,但已经用于鼠标垫及笔上.天才无处不在,发现原来是酱紫滴(点开看哦wink.这个设计师真是油菜油菜滴.囧TL. 如果还不明白啥意思,百毒知不道万能!Via PS:谷歌翻译也SO强大嘛,”囧”都能翻译出来.果然,宅文化开始走向世界了

Britain appears to have forged a global lead in onanistic logos.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
