and you know they designed that logo together...brainstorming all the sketches of how to combine the two. you know they think they're the best architects in chesterfield.
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...
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.
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).
oh, massive respect to colcol for calling...
5, i'm not sure everybody understood what the kids are saying under the roadsign...
for the nongermanspeakers
it translates into
The most prestigious architectural studio in the world...
Bofill Architects.
There you have it.
sorry but you are mistaken. it has to be:
http://www.dickbuscharchitects.com/
pay close attention to the logo.
holy crap...that can't be real
but the site is too boring to be fake!
can someone in the states give em a call just to see if they answer:
dick bush architects how can i help?
wow, those are some intense stone houses...
i'll call first thing tomorrow
...and that logo. could it be any more phallic?
my god... that logo... can't be real...
and you know they designed that logo together...brainstorming all the sketches of how to combine the two. you know they think they're the best architects in chesterfield.
the logo is brilliant; note the gap detail of the phallus. its just as much busch as it is dick...
fulcrum, my throat hurts from laughing at that.
Surely this is a top candidate for the phallic logo awards.
Holy crap that's funny. I don't get the original post though.
Please someone call them and report back.
i'm crying over here...a combo of laughter and pathos. too good.
WonderK, you didn't see the add here in archinect:
'Bofill Architects: the most prestigious architectural studio in the world'
How great would it be if the add displayed here in this thread?
oh god !! .. they cant be serious !!.. I'm sure they've noticed ...
a logo like that .. and a name to go with it !!!
but check out the winner in the "phalic logo awards" that susan and fulcrum provided
mwahahaha .. that one's the best !!
and sorry silverlake .. the thread is totally hijacked ..
thanks to dot .. lol
Don't worry - I'm in stitches!
And Bofill's prestige ain't going anywhere...
I don't think they realized there's a female involved in the Atherton car centre one...
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.

how can dick busch NOT have been included in these awards. once again the architects are left out of the story... :)
thanks silverlake. no, I missed that ad. Too bad....
Did ANYONE call dick busch?
re: dick busch
oh man, I just feel sorry for whatever intern gets stuck drawing their roof plans... ridiculous

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: .........
hes just a genius
very gutsy colcol. what you did took a lot of balls.
gutsy indeed, but somehow i feel pity for the poor guy. hope mr.busch or any of his employees are'nt archinectors.
mean kids!!
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.
fulcrum, that's so wrong....
I don't know what you're talking about. *ahem*
It's just a kid hugging mom/dad.
colcol, you've got to be shitting me. Dick Busch designed that himself. Perfect, just perfect. Could not be any better. Or funnier for that matter.

lets all call them ! and post the results here
maybe the logo was designed by mr. Stoltz?
I nominate this as one of the best threads ever to be on archinect, this is all just too funny.
fulcrum, that is so damn pervese.
(this thread is brilliant)
this is off topic but we have one of those in michigan as well:
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.

oh, massive respect to colcol for calling...
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.
unfortunately, some folks didn't get the memo...
