So you tell me what you see in the new logo for Brazil’s Instituto de Estudos Orientais:
Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.
Found via ***Dave who got it from Boing Boing.
Bad choices in logo design.

Either way, you’re fucked. 
The irony is that it’s actually a very clever and nice logo, a golden yellow pagoda in front of a rising sun. I’m not sure how it could be tweaked to eliminate it’s, um, other associations.
I also wonder how it got out of committee, but that’s another matter.

Wow… I only realized what the picture was supposed to be after reading Dave’s comment. It’s like that picture where you either see a vase or two people looking at each other. All depends on your mind set.
I saw both what it was supposed to be and what it strikes most people as being when I looked at it and I agree that it is a clever design that has an unfortunate double meaning.
Perhaps if the pagoda was a bit fancier and looked even more like a pagoda it wouldn’t be so bad.

The sun needs to be offset. Maybe set it a little to the right or left, and then up a little. Otherwise it does have some sex appeal. A logo like that might be a good for gettin’ busy after some good studying.

I agree, that the sun should b offset and perhaps some rays or halo as well - just to disconnect the sexual feeling that sume ppl have ROFL
And perhaps different strokes....
Nice work anyway - keep it simple.
