A designer who helped roll out FNB's first logo still thinks the 'AK-47' was deliberate

[ForceFate]

Calling an graphic artist a designer is a bit disingenuous me thinks.

Isn't it called graphic design?

Designer probably miffed that he is not going to get royalties for his artwork anymore

FNB has seen surprisingly few major logo overhauls - but most have courted at least some controversy among at least some South Africans.

I bet you whoever saw that as an AK, probably sees their car keys and thinks it's a Glock. Like holy hell if anything that could be a bullpup, but some reaaaaaaaal stretching.

Also the new logo looks like some crazy art major who does nothing but makes every creative logo turn into simplified un-enjoyable circles and squares.

Middle one. I see a Katana

The Shogun one or a Susuki?

Won't surprise me. The First Rand Group always supported communism, back then and today as well.

Not quite right, First Rand was not even on the scene back then. When Barclays disinvested Anglo America bought them out, it was only much later that Anglo sold their stake to Rand Merchant Bank which after various mergers and take overs became First Rand. When Anglo sold, RMB only wanted some business sectors excluding the Retail divisions but Anglo and the shareholders insisted all or nothing.

The whole tree rabbit/AK thing is nonsense and pure propaganda, there were hundreds of designs put forward.

Someone just wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

The first FNB logo was hand-drawn by a major US firm, but rolled out on the ground by a team of local designers. One of whom also doesn't like the new logo.

Can see Africa. But in the blue ring, I see a springbok about to get shot with an AK-47, while a deformed giraffe/goat thing, shoves its horn up the springbok's arse...

 

[PrimeSteak]

Oh, it's indeed a bunny and not a Springbok, so I guess my theory about the destruction of Rugby is no longer applicable.

Perhaps the new logo is a plot by WMC to implant Steinhoff 5G into the minds of all who see the logo?

Dude, you post so much kak...

Thanks. Heard that before.

Found the illuminati logo - you just need to look at it upside down

Well spotted there. Coincidence or not?

If you ask rvZA, he'll tell you that the Illuminati logo is there by design, and he'll throw in that it's the beginning of the end of South Africa too... just for good measure.
