This one is too good not to post:

I've passed Deco a number of times and I really do like their red and black logo (not the tagline under it; that's awful). Note that this is actually the same Doug Ford and the same Deco (the business expanded into the US at one point).

Here is an article about Deco from 2014 and you should read it if you're interested in knowing how good a businessman this guy is.

The cuts to education will mean a loss of art and technology electives, such as Communications Technology and Visual Arts, which not only provide the foundation for a career in graphic design—in which you can get $89,000 of taxpayers' money despite a crushing deficit for a completely unnecessary logo redesign—but assist with concepts such as "measure twice, cut once" that are applicable to any discipline.

Looks like his business card has also fallen victim to ill-placed cuts.

[dewline]

It really does. If he wants his old company to have competent people available to hire, these cuts are going to be counter-productive.

AHAHAHAHA

We did that a couple years ago. I wasn't sure why.

Here's the state flag:

It's in the confederate shades of red and blue. The stars represent the state's grand divisions, with no particular star representing any particular division, with the stars arranged so that no star has obvious prominence.




Here's the old state logo. It was the tristar taken directly from the flag. Sometimes it was on a red field.




Here's the new logo. I can at least say that it has the postal code state abbreviation in it and therefore might be more legible to out-of-staters, although the old one usually said "Tennessee" under it. As does this one. The red is indeed a brighter shade, and the font of the T somewhat represents the University of TN "Power T" they use in their logo.



The PR company got I think around $50k for this, and then of course all the stationery had to be re-ordered, and the web sites redesigned, and the trucks repainted.

[sabotabby]

That's the really big expense; not the design itself, but having to change it on everything. Fortunately there's a guy who knows a guy at a printing company...

That new logo is dreadful. It looks like something for a bank and could be done in Illustrator in under 5 min.

That is a really impressive business card. Unfortunately, the impression it gives is not good.

[sabotabby]

It gives exactly the correct impression of both the company and the man.

[notasupervillain]

I would expect nothing less from the man.

[sabotabby]

It is exactly what I expect and I am delighted that it met my expectations so precisely.

[notasupervillain]

I didn't expect it, in that I never expect life to exceed parody.

It's what I would have expected if there was a God, and that God liked trolling the Reader.

What's that saying about wishing you had the self-assurance of mediocre white men

[sabotabby]

This is why said saying exists.
