Bitterne Namalemba Link 20th Anniversary

The discussion titled Logos rather got out of hand, both in length and content (for which I take all the blame and unreservedly apologise). We are unable to selectively remove posts so I had to remov…

Logos - What are they? The obvious one to me is the panda which is used by the Wild Life Fund, or the daffodil used by Marie Curie Cancer Care. I also think of logos as the snappy saying used by adve…
