Don't I know it!  My employer, the University of California,
recently came up with a new logo, designed to be more
"contemporary" and "versatile" and Internet-friendly,
and they bungled it big-time:

The new UC logo is so ugly that it makes all the
previous glibc logo proposals look fabulous.
It's almost *refreshingly* bad.

Oh, I don't know.  Their mascot is the African Sacred Ibis.
Completely different bird.  Nobody would confuse them.

Oh my.  My, my, my.

I do believe you've topped the new UC logo.

Baaack to the Glossy Ibis, then....
