You know it's horsecrock you're shovelling when you need to explain it
It might have been even worse. At the link there is an article which suggests that the agency had also designed a RAF100 logo, below, with a bizarre B2-like ‘F’. Fortunately it looks like someone had a common-sense moment and knocked up the red square thing instead, for the cost of probably 5 minutes’ work in MS Office. Although even that is itself bizarre, red being the Army colour...
The blurb talks about inspiring the next generation but the motif is only until September 2018 - not much time for that.
God knows how much this exercise cost. When I have seen aircraft tails etc decorated for anniversaries, these are often the work of serving personnel and some are pretty slick. Why did the air force not have a competition and save the cash?
BTW can anybody translate the contractors stuff into everyday English or is that what passes for English now?

Are they taking them that young nowadays?
What the hell has a shopping bag got to do with it?
Why no mention of diversity, or have I missed something?

Not sure if it has been said before but that is utter BOLLOCKS.
Also that yellow "thing" wood look more at home on a Volvo dumper truck - perhaps as full of "Sh%£ as the person responsible for the abortion in the first post.

Well now, here's a picture of a 75th anniversary mug alongside a 100th one for comparison. Also appearing are bits of random tat from my house.
I must say, I'm appreciating the new mug more now that I've seen the window sticker...

that's called the Ratchet effect Peregrine. You are given something that is bad and then something that is really crap. All of a sudden the bad thing seems "ok".

So I thought again and put in a second effort suggesting that, at unit level , Squadrons might like to put their own interpretation on all or part of an airframe showing a scheme from an earlier era in their history.
In the Service of old this would have generated competiton.
I illustrated this idea by enclosing a shot of a visiting Polish P28 dressed up in markings worn by an RAF Polish Squadron Wellington from WW2.
I heard no more.
There is another contributor to this thread who also got a zero response to his suggestion.
It would appear therefore that ( Like RAFM's Peoples' Spitfire Pilot) a series of various peripheral posturing "Cake and Arse Parties " will probably be very much in evidence instead over this Summer period.

I am not normally lost for words, but this so called Logo is just the greatest load of cods wallop I have ever seen.
How on earth does this represent the Royal Air Force.?
Its way past April 1st, but this rubbish is a couple of weeks late!!!!!.(As pointed out in post 21)
I agree with all the sentiments expressed, IT IS A LOAD OF BOxLOCKS.
