These logo misuse guidelines are as hilarious as they are unlikely
Apparently, companies are very precious about their logos and will go to great lengths to make sure they aren’t used in any way other than the correct one. For some reason, it’s not enough to simply say to people “Don’t f_ck with the logo.”, they have to show you how not to f_ck with the logo.
Technological wizard, Andy Baio, has collected some of these instructions and they range from the sublime to the ridiculous.
