That's the one that cost £100,000. Yep, you heard right. They paid an advertising agency ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS to design that. Absolutely un-bloody-believeable. It must have taken all of 2 minutes in Adobe Illustrator.

So would the BBC Logo. It doesn't mean it's not a good logo - which, in my opinion, it is.

Why does the Southampton City Council logo have an ® attached to it? Aren't they all registered trademarks?

This is Newcastle's... a bit handwriting-font-tastic for my liking:

North Down Borough Council's crest:



...now reinterpreted by Snow Patrol following their (fab) gig in Bangor last weekend:

Since everyone's doing this, here's a couple of South Wales' offerings. Before this lot, we just had Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. Then we had Mid Glamorgan, Gwent and Monmouthshire. Now we got a few more.

North Lincs' neighbours:



Lincolnshire proper's logo is a green version of the Lincoln Imp. I thought it was a green rose for a long time.



Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes has this as their logo.



Over the bridge, they use this...



...and further north still is Hull, home to this.

This is the Swindon Borough Council logo, a tree with a subtle 'S' inside. It's a good effort, however the main gripe is that everything council related tends to be garishly orange, including the household recycling boxes

Hmm.

Yes your beloved Brum and it's councillors are the source of endless DailyMail xenophobic seasonal outrages. You must be so proud.

That is Suffolk County Council's logo - nothing special, but not too bad either.

Why have they one the "3D" so badly? It looks like they started off with a cube, but decided to change it into a shield.

The 3D isn't the worst part of the logo... it's the bad implementation of it - there are about 100 different versions from the older one that had Suffolk County Council in one line to 'home made' ones where the 'cube' is centred above the text.

To add another Suffolk logo, here's my district council - "where quality of life... counts". It fits the district well, being waves for the coast!

Yep, that one's been done. For about two months.
