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 :)
