In April last year, London design outfit FHD proudly announced it would be rebranding the UK's Office of Government Commerce (OGC) - the HM Treasury tentacle "responsible for improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement".
OGC foot soldiers around 20 seconds to realise why this particular bit of joss-stick-driven madness was going to end in tears
"The proposed version, which you have sent over, has been shared with staff, and is now going through final technical stages. 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 is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on government spend!"

I give it a 6/10. They certainly could have seen that un coming, though.

I see what they did there.

Oh no, Fritz, not that sig image again.
Okay, I finally understand what they see. But it's vague enough that I'd never have seen it independently.

I have a dirty mind and I don't see anything phallic, which seems to be what you guys are implying.
I do, however, see a stick figure flipping me the bird.

I was just discussing this very topic earlier today in school. OGC is the greatest emoticon ever.
