How's this for a new Brent logo?

Martin Redstone suggests this as the new logo for Brent Council. He notes: "The logo  was designed for the Madhatters Theatre Club's 2003 production of The Government Inspector (by Gogol) Guess what the satire was aimed at!". See LINK

 Commenting on the new Brent logo LINK Martin said,  

It is appalling. Brent Council's coat of arms is a historic and proud insignia, but I assume Brent don't want to keep anything historic/heritage.

Also it won't print so well in Black and White and will therefore cost more to print and will look rubbish as a photocopy.

It is a meaningless symbol.

Finally, whatever happened to the motto 'Forward Together'. Presumably this is not the modern ethos of Brent.

What a waste of money.

A new logo for Brent Council?

Brent Council has launched its new logo (below) which it says 'is more representative of the borough as it is today'.  The motto 'Forward Together' appears to have been dropped - which given recent events is probably inevitable.

However, I don't really think this is representative of the borough as it is today - I suggest the following would be more appropriate following the Council's closure of half our libraries
