Like when you get a ticket you mean. Oh no hang on a minute Strike Force (or is it Streetscene) are quite efficient at plastering cars with tickets. It's just when they give them out incorrectly that things get tricky, ... ah, now I see your point.

What can one say? The old Haringey design logo was bad enough - pure design mediocrity. Who'd have thought 'things could only get worse'? It's so self-evident, it's almost not worth expending energy on a rational critique of its replacement. Suffice to say it's a ghastly pastiche of the dreadful 2012 Olympics logo.

It kind of remains me of this album cover design (without Mr Jackson of course). Very 80s!

Absolutely Pav, the council were looking to do something different, like leave out the word 'council' because with all their planned cuts, soon there won't be one.

Patricia:

The rebranding has thus far cost £86,000. That figure does not include future implementation costs but it does include £20,000 for the 90 second video to which you refer.

The content of this video is a front page story on Thursdays' Ham & High Broadway, that refers to absence in the video of the elderly or disabled – and the relationship between the Council and some of those featured in the video.

(agree logo looks lightweight and lacking in gravitas).
