Here’s The New Logo For Visit Malaysia 2020

Look, I don't usually critique design in public, but when it comes to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture using taxpayers' money…who designed this logo, how much did they get paid for it, and how much did the people who approved it pocket for themselves? #ViSitMalaySia2o2o pic.twitter.com/jSpTO0i70d

"Let's use two different styles of illustration in the two Os. And make sure nobody can tell what they are unless they see the logo up close! We want them to guess if the orang utan is hugging another orang utan or a person." #VisitMalaysia2020

"Make sure the turtle and the orang utan/s wear sunglasses. We have to get the message across that everyone and everything is cool and chill in sunny Malaysia."

"And screw kerning and alignment, you know, cos we don't abide rules here. That 's', let it float free and unencumbered. Let's see how close we can mash the letters together without them touching. Like when you play rubber tops in school and try to knock your friends' ones down."

I'm sick & tired of this humiliation. How can you be a freaking minister, when you can't realize how awful & humiliating this logo is. You know what this says to the world for 2020? "Malaysians can't design." I weep for all our great graphic designers. #VisitMalaysia2020 pic.twitter.com/FdGn2TttwP
