Probably not my place to do so, but I have sent an email to the Air Commodore to complain about this and added a link to this post.
I know that it's wishful thinking on my part to think that it won't be filtered out of his inbox before Monday morning, but I really do feel strongly about this.

I opened this thread with trepidation, and found it even worse than I feared. Permit me to join those who think this is ....

Never in the field of PPRUNE wrath have so many testicles been aired.

We have had italicised ones, emboldened ones, red, blue, green, purple, large font, and now punctuated.

This wrinkled old retainer is grateful for the support, as it were.

This is apparently a sketch of the PR gang wheeling out their great idea:

Just wondering like .. if anyone has thought about sending a link to this thread to the 'designer' ?

Oh and the press . Wonder if Vicki Woods is still writing for the Telegraph?

From the horse's mouth .. https://www.coleyporterbell.com/

We love challenges. So if you need help refining or redefining a brand, creating an identity for a company or service, launching a product or perfecting packaging, let’s talk it through.


Our home is central London. Though as part of WPP and in turn Ogilvy & Mather, we belong to a global network of 120 offices for local insight and expertise, wherever your project leads.


Whether you’re a new brand or an established multinational, you’ll find a warm welcome. What’s more, we know a thing or two about tea, coffee and biscuits…


Ahh, with that last sentence of theirs I think I have figured out what persuaded a colourblind senior officer to use this bunch of clowns, let alone sign off on their 'work'. Wonder if it was the choccy digestives or the squashed fly biccies that did it?

I know I shouldn't be surprised at such drivel, but here I am, dumbfounded. This is beyond bollox. This is utterly shameful. I'm sure I can actually smell the logo - and it's very unpleasant.
Frankly, if this is the way ahead for the RAF, I despair.

I see the Chinook display airframe has been treated the same way as the Typhoon...


By the way, it's still bollocks.

I see I’m alone in not calling it a load of bollocks. Well it bloody well is a load of bollocks!
Fixed.

Just to add in my tuppence worth, this design is horrific and represents NOTHING of the Royal Air Force, it ethos, core values or history and is quite simply an abomination produced by the work experience kid at the 'advertising' company! It is absolutely shameful and shows just how out of touch senior leaders are from the modern world....

Complete BOLLOX!

As for the people who came up with this load of "tosh", then I wonder what "stunning" decision making they could come up with in a time of crisis. Answers please on the back of a postage stamp.

Thread drift to a high degree I know, but has any thought been given to making Harry an honorary air commodore so that he can wear RAF uniform on his wedding day?

Someone asked "did we really pay for someone to do this?" And on top of this i would add, yes but only for something that will run until September. A godsend in this case but ridiculous waste of money all the same. And it's bollocks too.

Sorry Dan
It has been done already.

The colours signify the testicular changes that one may see having had a "right Royal kick in the slats" It epitomizes all that is good in the world today; pain leads to colour".
