    I disagree....don't go with the cow. :D

    I agree with the tacky comments and I think it would still be tacky no matter who (or what) was doing the farting.

    Mr Skint had a good idea on the other thread about a man and a rain cloud. Not as funny but much more professional, much better portrayal of the whole idea I think.

    The thing is ..... Does anyone think of a sad old fart and conjure up images of a well rounded butt in a thong, passing dubious matter ..... I for one would like to think not. :p

    First the punctuation -

    Satisfactory full stop
    As
    Described full stop
    Fit for purpose
    And last a
    Reasonable length of
    Time full stop.

    Makes it clearer. You don't need the comma.

    Next the picture - a naked women's bum isn't often going to down well with women, and probably the fart coming out of it will make it less appealing to men!

    I think you should keep the acronym. It's funny and easy to remember. I think the picture needs to be changed because it doesn't appeal rather than being in bad taste or offensive.

    A large whoopie cushion with the writing on it might work, and the sad fart coming out of that.

    Hope this helps! :D
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Unlike the video of Robbie Williams waving his tadger about on the GRAB IT QUICK board.

    Ditto. I think the cow would make a much better graphic.

    I also agree with the advice to change the colour of the text, but for a slightly different reason: at the moment, the acronym isn't eye-grabbing enough to me - changing it to a bolder colour like red and using another colour for the rest of the text might improve that.

    I think the acronym is fine - and memorable. Everyone has an image in their mind when you use the phrase "old fart", but to my mind, the graphic takes it into to the questionable area of juvenile humour. For me - best left where it was.

    Sorry, Martin, I can now probably be considered a sad fart - but I don't particularly like the association of 'sad fart' with someone who stands up for their rights as a consumer.
    I have to agree with this. You don't NEED this kind of logo and doesn't add to your image.

    Don't like the connotation of female bum with unhappy male face under it.

    I didn't vote in the poll as there wasn't an option for "don't do it"!

    I can't believe I'm wasting my time considering farts. Likewise shouldn't you be getting on with some money saving somewhere? :D

    What about a posh timepiece (quality/last time) with arms & legs with muscles (fit). The words are enough, they don't need illustrating literally.

    I'm sorry but that's terrible!! Are you sure you got a designer? As that breaks most of the design guidelines I was ever taught!!
    Aside from the obvious trying to cramp too much into too small a space, the face/fart image is amateurish and the bum is actually a bit offensive.
    Sorry but it looks like a 15 year old boy did it for his GCSE project trying to be funny!

    I reckon if you put a nipple on each buttock it would look like Jordan ... now there is value for money ... two pictures from one
