We paid about $250,000 for what essentially amounts to a heap of generic rubbish. Having Chakma and his crew in charge of UWO is sort of like having the Ostrogoths in charge of Rome: no matter how competent they may be as administrators, things are going to end badly. The old one looked like, you know, an actual university logo:




Compare and contrast to Fanshawe College:





Now on to the rest of London...

City's logo isn't too bad, for some reason it has always reminded me of the White Tree of Gondor:








Standard colonial coat of arms. If we wanted this to be accurate, the deer would be getting hit by a car while city council argues about what to do about it:





The ever-loved London Knights hockey team:




And the generic-but-decent logo for the local hydroelectric company, London Hydro:




I guess the International Airport logo is also OK. The Canadian maple leaf subtly reminds you that you should not be flying out of Detroit:
