Subtle cosmetic surgery by ace Illustrator, veterinarian and all-round nice guy Alan O’Regan.
Can you spot the artist’s deliberate correction? mistake? modifica? …it”s the leg.
We always hated the leg.
Aww…he’s all anatomically correct and stuff.
Mmmf.
Alan O’Regan writes:
“Dear Broadsheet,
“I have voluntarily cleaned up your logo. I know I know, you didn’t ask me to but I had to. You see, I understand that you like to be all lo fi and everything but there’s nothing that sets off my OCD like a rough logo. I couldn’t resist it. I HAD to make it neater.
I took the liberty of making a few small changes. As I presume he’s a bloodhound I’ve shortened his back leg a bit (their back legs look shorter than their front legs when they’re lying down) and ‘fixed’ his top hat.
If you feel I have improved Broadsheet at all you might just give my website a plug. Other than that, I’ve got it out of my system now and I can relax for the rest of my Wednesday. Or maybe I’ll have a go at Mizzoni Pizza’s logo. That cat REALLY annoys me.”
Thank you, Alan.
Old, ratty, charming dog logo [created in 2010 by Cork-based architect, Gary Fitzgibbon] or Alan’s new, slick, Hanna Barbera dog?
YOU Decide.
UPDATE:
Alan responds:
“I’m nothing if not a good listener. Lost the gradients and that old glint is back in his eye (less grumpy).”
What say ye now?
And also doesn’t match the sign on top…

Anyone know the font being used here?

“This logo takes its inspiration from Celtic spirals and knotwork. Taking the letter ‘e’ for Europe as a starting point, the spirals radiate out and are woven together to create a fluid, unified shape. Each member (or ‘e’) is linked and works in harmony with the others, reflecting our ambition to ensure the united and effective operation of the EU under our stewardship.”
Lol.

Adorability ensues.
