My Idea? Tell you what, give me £100,000 and call it consultancy and I will tell them just what to do!

My initial advice was conditional on a consultancy contract.
Well, at least I can see the joke......

Having looked at that website, not using juvenile and illegible fonts would be a good start.
Well said!

Since when did the RAF use orange in a logo font? It looks like something more at home on a graffiti clad inner-city wall than a Royal Air Force logo!

Truly, truly, gopping!

I have a couple of suggestions, but it asks for name, rank and email and I don't fancy spending the few years I have left at RRH Benbecula!

Hate the logo though!

Very 70s



Wouldn't look out of place on the cover of a 'Yes' album.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Mind you once they've both flown past I'm not sure what to suggest as a follow up

Suggest all stations open on same day for free military only displays to attract local populations, and have centrally coordinated flypast type displays rather than full display sequences.

For a start....

Their constant negativity.
They are always whining and whinging.
They live in the past.
They constantly overplay the smallness of the current RAF and spout nonsense about it "only having 2 planes..."
They are always whining and whinging.
They are afraid of change.
They are always whining and whinging.
Rose tinted glasses when it comes to history and "the good old days...."
Don't understand that the world has moved on.
Don't understand how technology has moved on.
Have a pathological inability to say the words Amazon and eBay.
They are always whining and whinging.
Have an old fashioned and strange attitude toward women.
Seem to think that legalising homosexuality somehow made it compulsory.
Bizarrely think that being white, male, heterosexual, able bodied and over 50 somehow makes them a discriminated minority rather than the most powerful and elite group in human history.

Compare Aircraft
I particularly like this one

http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/

Intelligence and RAF Regiment Equipment
It sort of infers the RAF Regiment aren't intelligent.




I could design a better logo that that RAF 100 item.

Do you think Betty will send them a birthday card?

The new yellow logo as mentioned does fit in well with the current Tonka Toy range the RAF fly

With a nod to the 50th anniversary, I'd like to see a Typhoon flying under Tower Bridge. That would capture the imagination, and make for excellent photos.
