'Bofill Architects: the most prestigious architectural studio in the world'

How great would it be if the add displayed here in this thread?

hehe. any chance i can get.

to think how many hits that site will get now. quite possibly the most clever marketing ploy in architecture firm history. genius or total ignorance? one can only wonder.

like the pyramids, the logo will continue to puzzle, challenge, and amaze...

how can dick busch NOT have been included in these awards. once again the architects are left out of the story... :)

ok... that's a bad name... the funny thing is, that's actually one guy, the name of the principal, if that's his name, if he basically no way youre not gonna be aware of the implications of your own name right? so these guys actually know what they're doing... its all marketing. basically that logo is putting his firm on the map.

I just got off the phone...

ring ring ring...

DBA: Good morning, Dick Busch Architects, this is Carol.

ME: Hi Carol, I'm an architecture student, and I'd just like to know who you hire to do your graphic design work.

CAROL: Um, well actually, we don't really hire anyone to do that, we do graphics here.

ME: Oh, well, I liked your logo and I was wondering who designed it.

CAROL: Well, I think it was someone here, i can ask. Do you have any other questions, or was that it?

ME: That's it, just the logo.

CAROL: Well, let me check that for you, can i put you on hold for a second?

ME: Sure.

--on hold, i keep worrying that Dick Busch himself will get on the line and yell at me for thinking his logo is funny--

CAROL: Well, I beleive my boss designed it himself.

ME: Dick Busch?

CAROL: Yeah.. (i think she's on to me at this point)

ME: Well, thank you, goodbye.

CAROL: .........

colcol - too funny. It was probably a dare Dick had with some friends one night after heavy drinking. I'd work there just to have a business card with my name and that logo.

Well, after the Phallic Logo Awards, that university's Asian Studies center has taken down its website and is presumably in the process of designing a new logo (for, like, a year now). And Arlington Pediatric made some changes, too. Perhaps this will awaken the "Pay Attention To All Possible Interpretations Of Your Logo" in Mr. Busch's design awareness cortex, or perhaps he has a good sense of humor and has embraced his fate (alongside Ambassador Dick Swett and Dr. Dick Feely of the NOAA).

hell is actually the name of a scandanavian earth goddess...it was where you went when you dies, into the earth..to helj (the spelling was different)

over time and through enculcation hell became the conotation of bad demon earth pit...i.e. hell...twisted for christian propoganda sake.

Great book on pre christian northern european earth cultures called The Well of Remembrance by Ralph Metzner

5, i'm not sure everybody understood what the kids are saying under the roadsign...
for the nongermanspeakers
it translates into

"please, not so fast"

that is so wrong, it's almost not funny.

Perhaps this will awaken the "Pay Attention To All Possible Interpretations Of Your Logo"

unfortunately, some folks didn't get the memo...
