Don't I know it! My employer, the University of California,
recently came up with a new logo, designed to be more
"contemporary" and "versatile" and Internet-friendly,
and they bungled it big-time:

The new UC logo is so ugly that it makes all the
previous glibc logo proposals look fabulous.
It's almost *refreshingly* bad.

Completely different bird. Nobody would confuse them.

I do believe you've topped the new UC logo.
Baaack to the Glossy Ibis, then....
