is it a kite or some sort of jihad sentiment?

it's a treasure map, the real logo is buried at the red dot.
first one to find it gets a credit!

It's true!WTF?
"Den Haag is een juwelenkist vol schatten."

at first i thought that logo was made by a group of mentally disabled people

and then you realised it was just one mentally disabled egotist with a couple of pantone markers?

(Nov 2 06, 14:51)it's a kite and the swirly things in the back back are waves i guess. the hague is located at the sea. i can see what he was heading for. don't actually like how it's been executed.

"Den Haag heeft er bewust voor gekozen om alleen een beeldmerk te laten ontwerpen, zonder een slogan om internationaal meer bekendheid te krijgen."
verklaar u nader...

@stewart, zou er dan geen the Hague moeten staan.
Shouln't be the Hague (vs den haag), as the Hague is international famous because of the UN's war crimes tribunal

perhaps if they put some paint drips on it you'd like it?
- mr_snuggles0
nothing can save this feable attempt at an identity, nary a deer head nor a paint drip...

I have no idea what it means (bad thng) or if it means anything else other than some sort of geogrpahical semiotics.
However, I love the fact its not been churned out in illustrator and is obvioudly the mark of a human being.
Sheesh, that sounded well wanky
- mr_snuggles0
fuck the mimicry of being touched by a human, I mean what good has come of a world touched by humanity anyways? ;)
A majority of corporate logo's give that illusion [coca cola - for example], but at least keep in a mind a potential wide-range of applications..
How does this even work in black and white or at small sizes? Do people even regard these things anymore?
- Bottlerocket0
Whats the point in design anyway? What makes one mark better than another, its application? OR the idea behind it? Or are all things equal and we have to live in a homgeonised fusion of 'applicable' creativity the death knell for any sort of innovation

Before I get jumped on for being a wanker that post was pretty tongue in cheek
- mr_snuggles0
being different or original isn't something to always strive for... most people find comfort in the recognition of something familiar... maybe in this case a sense of whimsy? But, this is a piece of commercial design so it does need to 'function', it's niet art...

@mr_snuggles,
How does this even work in black and white or at small sizes?We all wear glasses here in holland and we are colorblind so ...
