Good to know that all the money I pay "gloria" oops sorry "abbey" every month isn't being wasted..

Brown · 25-09-2003, 06:41

that's not a logo. its a candy bar.

dan · 26-09-2003, 05:24

Mate, it's not even a candy bar.

Saw a guy on the news talking about the new abbey image the other day. Apparently the new brand direction has to be backed up by an actual change in the way the company does business, so it's not seen as a hollow gesture by the public... after seeing it I'm really not sure it'll matter either way.

They're sunk out of business

I see Consignia all over again... who would want to bank with a place with a logo like that... apart from 5 year olds of course.

Bollox.

aaron · 21-03-2005, 13:11

haha loads of people said "ahh you'll warm to that logo after a while, give it a chance" etc, but it is still as shit as the day it was unwittingly launched. i haven't seen it used effectively through any medium.

noggin · 21-03-2005, 13:27

i had kind of got used to the alpha-channeled logo... but this new one is awesome!

You can still call them cunt then?

I'm more shocked to discover that you're a monk rather than a full-time Web designer tbh

smallbeer · 21-03-2005, 16:51

I finally left a couple of months ago marc. thank fuck.

The logo, and I have this from an insider, is actually a steaming turd from a spanish donkey.

seen.to · 21-03-2005, 23:42

Glad to hear it mate, glad to hear it

As for the Abbey logo - what an absolute sack of pus. Hope they didn't pay more than $25 for it.
