But in terms of publicity (although its not really the kind of department that needs any publicity) its been excellent as I have seen this story all over the internet...

Heaven's To Betsy ....well that one is a tribute to a lady called Meg, my husbands (he's a head teacher) PE teacher. We have for some time giggled about her use of this term as a 'safe expletive' around the children - it's just such a funny phrase, I love it, and totally the sort of thing I can imagine her saying in this situation :) Amanda xx First of all I thought the comment was another scarily bad mistake on their part, but then I realised it was intentional!

For £14,000 this logo should have been turned upside down, inside out and dipped in hot coffee - and that's just for starters. I do get worried that slip ups like this damage the graphic design industry, I can hear more people bellowing "I can do better myself" as I write. I couldn’t agree more that this is craziness!
