    No. The logo (if you look closely) is the Plaza on the Quay. Bit stoopid to use it. Most people don't know what it is. Stick with the crest I say. :)

    looks like a bridge to me, and the yokes in the plaza slope up the way not down.

    why do i care?

    Once the link is in place it will make getting to Rice Bridge from the DUmore Road area far easier then going via the quay
