“A good logo gets people talking”
What load of glittery shi–
That’s not what logos are for
No, it doesn’t.
I’ve never met or seen anyone who thinks it’s a good idea.
The country is **united** in our disdain for the shitting pigeon.
“Ms Ament said: “The pigeon and splat speak to a historic place full of dualities; a place where the grit and the glitter have existed side by side for millennia; an impartial and humble observer of London life.””
How about a crumpled can of special brew next to a puddle of vomit?
I don’t think it’s entirely the right thing to represent a serious institute like a museum, but I love it anyway.
> The director of the museum, Sharon Ament, said the pigeon and splat represented the “grit and glitter” of the capital.
I’m not sure how a glitter-infused bird turd represents London?
It’s almost like a Northerner came up with it to take the piss out of the capital, and for that reason alone I like it.
Whatever PR company they used needs naming and shaming.
In theory I quite like it but in practice it looks terrible.
Having lived and worked in London, a glittery shit seems like an appropriate metaphorical description.
And it only cost me £1.24 to buy this ornament from AliExpress, [including postage](https://youtu.be/sscJFcCMs9Q?t=43)
All part of rebranding the Museum of London into the London Museum
What the actual fuck? I thought it was comparing it to glittery pigeon poo. Nope. It’s actually a pigeon taking a shit.
Am I still asleep?
Tasty dish (Cantonese-style, for example). Bit of dinner table work to separate meat/flesh from bone but that’s the same with chicken wings, prawn and lobster.
Imagine if we could swap our modern art shite with actual beautiful artworks and carved marble.
But no, we’re stuck with bananas nailed to a wall. At the end of the day, if I could make it, it’s not art.
Somebody wants to justify his useless Arts diploma.
Even the name “London Museum” doesn’t work for me as well as “Museum of London” did.
Sounds really picky, but there are a lot of places that fit the description of London Museum. You could google “London Museums” and get a huge list including the British Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, V&H, IWM and so on. The older name felt more specific.
