Ross's Bike-1IMG_5381-1

The lovely Focus Culebro (top).

And the ‘virtually impregnable’ lock (see comments) that kept it ‘safe’.

Ross writes:

This is my lovely Focus Culebro. It was stolen from Drury Street car park [Temple Bar, Dublin] on Friday December 10 in the evening. If you see it for sale please let me know, I have the frame number so can verify it. I just got this bike 6 months ago and have been delighted with it and using it everyday. As you can imagine I’m feeling a bit cheated….

Anyone?

Same as the old Trinity College Dublin logo.

Released today –  following amusing design controversy – to the readers of The University Times.

It’s literally a badge of design compromise.

“In early April, a logotype was presented for preliminary approval to the Board, despite significant opposition from internal college groups, such as the Fellows, who had said that they “did not think [their] views were being listened to”.

Significant controversy arose from a perceived name change in the initial logotype, which dropped the “Dublin” from “Trinity College Dublin” in favour of “Trinity College, the University of Dublin”, in an effort to emphasise that Trinity was a university.

The logotype was also perceived to look toy-like and less “heraldic”, leading to widespread parody on social media. The logotype approved today retains the “Trinity College Dublin” name and includes a more heraldic logo.“
