Looking at logos


Cabinet meeting is coming up, which means that I've got plenty to read through.

Whilst I'm delighted that the compact is up for discussion (more on this later) - I'm skipping straight to the fun bit.

The results of the consultation on the logo are in, and the winner is the wheatsheaf.

Which I'm delighted about. I didn't think I could stomach something that looked like Thames Water logo, or anything named "rising sun" (house of or otherwise).

Fortunately you all agreed - voting 54% for the 'sheaf, 35% for hills and 11% for the sun.

The proposal in front of cabinet is to adopt a slightly toned down version to reduce printing costs - which is a great idea. It still has all the impact of the original and I'm all for saving money.

Which is why I'm a bit confused how the consultation cost us £4000 - I would have gone out with a clipboard for half of that.
