OGC --- Dutch TV host behaving inappropriately posted by Dr-Baa at 7:46 AM on April 25, 2008
A spokesman for OGC said: “It is true that it caused a few titters among some staff when viewed on its side, but on consideration we concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters OGC - and it is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”

I thought it was titters that caused staff posted by psmealey at 7:52 AM on April 25, 2008 [6 favorites]
That spokesperson is a genius. A firm grip, indeed. Giving rise (ahem) perhaps to their catchphrase for the 2008 Spring Drive: "Get a Firm Grip on This" posted by psmealey at 7:56 AM on April 25, 2008
"Welcome to the Offfice of Government Commerce. If you'll kindly turn you head to the side, you'll notice that we're jerking off on your face. Please proceed to the Office of Epic Lulz, two doors down on the left." posted by The Straightener at 8:01 AM on April 25, 2008 [2 favorites]
A firm grip...
Heh.
OGC now has a staff of 564 with a head office in Norwich
OK.
They’re going to get more column inches than they could ever have expected before.
Well, now you're just being gratuitous. posted by quin at 8:01 AM on April 25, 2008 [1 favorite]
You down with OGC? (yeah you know me!) posted by anthill at 8:20 AM on April 25, 2008 [1 favorite]
Kind of a tempest in a teapot.
Or, if you turn the Metafilter logo on its side, then reverse it and change it into a bitmap, and then look at the resulting logo while squinting and drinking a beer after watching a Flesh Flick on Fleshbot, it looks like a plate of beans overthinking itself. posted by KokuRyu at 8:23 AM on April 25, 2008 [1 favorite]
That's funny. I too L-edOL. Thanks for the link! posted by Guy_Inamonkeysuit at 8:33 AM on April 25, 2008
The Register claims to have a picture of the moment at which London design outfit FHD revealed the revised brand frontage to the HM Treasury tentacle's staff. posted by DreamerFi at 8:48 AM on April 25, 2008
I think you mean "beaten" to the "punch". posted by GuyZero at 8:51 AM on April 25, 2008
At first I didn't get what was so scandalous. I'm glad the Telegraph did the work for me of turning the logo on its side... Then I LOL'd. posted by heatherbeth at 8:53 AM on April 25, 2008

If I remember Omnivore's Dilemna correctly, this was done on purpose. posted by inigo2 at 10:59 AM on April 25, 2008
Wow...it took me awhile to figure out the issue here. It was like one of those magic eye things; I finally see the schooner. And it's touching itself. posted by inigo2 at 11:01 AM on April 25, 2008
Even without turning the logo on its side, I'm still wondering why a government agency's logo so closely resembles that of a fox tv show about the attractive angst of developmentally precocious wealthy teenagers. posted by troybob at 11:42 AM on April 25, 2008
Omnivore's Dilemna
That's going on a t-shirt
Also, this does not trump the TIA's pyramid logo posted by eclectist at 12:14 PM on April 25, 2008
sorry. really. posted by cosmonik at 2:27 AM on April 26, 2008
Usually I'm the first to spot something sexual, but I didn't see it in the OGC logo even when it was turned sideways. I had to read the last panel of that comic to even get what it was supposed to look like. Then when I looked back at the logo, it still doesn't look that much like it to me. posted by Nattie at 5:20 AM on April 27, 2008
