    Accidental I reckon. It's usually stupidity rather than malice that causes this sort of thing.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34

    Never go to a Hindu or Buddhist country if that's what you're offended by.

    If you ever had to design a logo or other sort of abstract shape, you will know just how easily it can end up looking like either a swastika, or a penis.

    If you take the arm on the right and flip it so the shoulder lines up in the middle with the left leg, you'd have a pretty nice swastika alright :pac:

    Taken out of context and enlarged, and also wanting to see a swastika, yeah...there it is. However, on the page you linked to, you'd barely notice it...

    How do these things get published? Surly someone in the room looked at it and realised it looked bad.

    google: Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission.

    You couldn't make it up

    Here you go, in all it's MSPaint glory - institution name removed for obvious reasons.

    I also took the liberty of moving the dudes head.

    There definitely is an inordinate amount of short people with mustaches in Limerick anyway..

    Did the nazis wear tracksuits at all?

    Wanting to see it? It's at least 80% Swastika, and that link was just so people could check it wasn't just a joke, maybe this link suits you better?

    Yeah it’s real. Just google: bad logos, and see some of the absolute howlers that have been published.

    Incredible that these things get past everyone involved without anyone saying anything.

    I thought this might have been about the students complaining they cannot find accommodation on campus because the fee paying foreign students get first dibs.

    Reminded me of the statue of Papa John outside the library at NUI Maynooth. “Say nothing about this to anybody lads. There’s a big bag o’ tayto and a bottle of TK red in it for ye!”

    Im more intersted to find out why they are crash testing 1000 cars a year, thats almost 5 crashed cars in every working day. Will the 1000th crashed car really tell them any more than the 999 before them?

    Depends what you're testing. They might crash 30 cars to test a single point of impact on different objects.

    Test data can take a long time to gather.

    :D

    The deer is shagging the torpedo/castle, and there's bacon. That's what a lot of UL students saw anyway. The rest of them saw the deer
    with its mouth on something attached to its body that in no way even remotely resembles a phallus
    ...and bacon.

    It's an unfortunate logo indeed but I don't think it means UL is full of Nazis. Most likely it was designed by some millennial or Gen-X student who like sooooo totally wasn't into all that like ancient Hitler and his like Roman legions history stuff like in like secondary school like. I'm sure it will get fixed without the need for a purge of the campus.
