Very funny!
Brilliant! Thanks for the laugh. This kind of thing should be a competition so we could all submit (those who have the time, so that counts me out..)
I wonder who reviewed and rejected these logos
Lolz! Great post, thanks!
it seems that they just wanted to retain the standard logo… that’s why they have so many reason for rejections… but it looks cool…
Oh comeon, i can´t see why either of those was rejected. Damn the world has become a complaining and bitchin about EVERYTHING, rights here and there….too this and too that! OOooo, haven´t people noticed, that the human being is becoming more and more sensitive, both mentally and physically… damn it
PEACE OUtm, i liked all of those, especially the jpeg compression thingy ;D it had an in your face atitude

Nice job, well done.
