Oldham has a new logo

You

Time for some local news...

[img]http://regmedia.co.uk/2008/04/17/new_oldham_logo.jpg[/img]

and it only cost £100k...

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/17/oldham_rebrand/

A few simple improvements:

1. Change the colour to red.
2. Add crosshairs

Now that would be an image that represents peace and unity.

[quote=love to live but living to die]how cum? which bit did u visit? ah well i wont kno abt oldham but if u say that abt manchester then u need glasses![/quote]

To be honest, I have never been there and know the following about Oldham:

A) They got relegated in the first Premier League season.
B) There were riots there.
C) It has a new logo.

I still stick with my original assumption.

Manchester is not too bad. Its not quite a Milton Keynes or a Slough, but it's tolerable. Apart from the accent, that is.

Have you got alot of Asians in the council? If so, then they must have spent a few quid on it and pocketed the rest.

hahahahaha soooo true!

all members are asian on the oldham council, i don't think there are any 'non asian members'!

there excuse for this was to cater for the 'community'...

as oldham is very asian populated....the asian council will cater to their needs better then a non asian council would lolz

ive got to hand it to Big Bro, he's right about the colleges, Oldham Sixth Form has been ranked one of the top colleges for several years running!

and the riots were along time ago, i think its fair to say, the asian population won!

if your looking for cultural acceptance, oldham is the place to be, i don't think anyone has ever been racist to me in Oldham, which can't be said for any other place ive been to!

Yeah. nothing wrong at all.

A few years ago they even painted the streets. Buckets of liquid almost water-thin tar, brooms used as brushes. carpet tape used for masking tape. It was a bit like interior decorating. On the outside.

Very classy.

The logo looks stupid. I can see two O's. Why not just have 1?

Looks like a dartboard or a board that u shoot things at. I feel it also has a hypnotising effect. Scary!
