Facebook has kindly reminded my that it was one year ago that I discovered that my publisher, Icon Books, shares a logo with a loo.

To be fair, I quite like the Icon logo. But the parallel is rather amusing. But if you want to offer your services to Icon, Karen, I think you should take a pack of cough sweets with you...

Haha!
I don't mind it either actually, though it is bad design not to research before handing something to a client and I'll wager the one on the loo has been there longer, though maybe it hasn't and it is a complete coincidence
I think it would be better if it was obviously book related, which it isn't but I see the thinking behind the design, like how from the dot the expanding black signifies the arc of vision which covers the text, so it is effective
It could be the result of viral marketing...

I see also that that restroom is for pine trees — second row from the bottom, right side...
