Accidental Ambigram

Dec 13th, 2009 | By | Category: Ambigram Gallery

It seemed to be the perfect new look for the office…

Until someone discovered that the logo was perhaps a bit too suggestive for such a conservative group.  Take a look at what happens when the logo is rotated 90 degrees to the right:
