They've still got their old logo on their Favicon.ico ...
Personally, I understand the reasoning (parent company n'all...) and am glad that they've reverted to a formal brand instead of that fucking BBC Daytime Gardening/Housecare/Lawrence Bowellyn-esque schmaltzy schit of a logo.
Fucking designers.
*cough :)

"Lets take the font "swiss" and take a few % off it's vertical scale..."
Wink have been kinda dodgy but they know their typography. You are so off the mark, man. If anything it's more along the line of Univers. Check the 'a's.

that logo's been around over here for years, funny that they've gone from the last 'experimental' one to this. That elipse drives me nuts...

It looks old already. I believe the phrase ' A fool and his money are easily parted" is especially pertinent in this case :)
