Logo mash-ups, part 1

sky_PE

The recent news that the broadcaster BSkyB (who trades as SKY in the UK) is getting all hot under the collar about Skype’s continuing rise in popularity around the world raises all manner of interesting questions. Not least of which being how you can possibly claim to ‘own’ three letters which are patently part of another word entirely.

That set us off, visually speaking, and led to the mashed up logo we offer you at the top of this post and then others – some patently ridiculous, but others, well…

Logo mash-ups part 2

johnson_banksy

We have received dozens of logo mash-ups from all over the world following last week’s post. Here is our selection of the best ones so far.

We hope that Chris’s employer isn’t reading this because we got an avalanche of great ones from him.
