I think it's more giggle-inducing vertical, but maybe I'm seeing something different than you all. Vertically, I see a stick figure doing something that's going to leave his stick hand palms a bit hairy.

The vertical one is the one that has been rotated. The one that is horizontal and readable from left to right, as the English language usually is, is the original,

Ah.. thanks for clarifying, Alex. When I see two figures presented side by side, I typically assume the one to the left is "before" and the one to the right is "after." After the rotation, in this case.

Armin,
Usually the punch line occurs at the end of the joke.
The vertical OGC logo gives new relevance to Alan Fletcher's book "The art of looking sideways".
Shortly after seeing this link yesterday, I saw that Docomo had changed their visual identity. Brand Newsworthy as well.

I was intrigued with the relationship between the OGC logo discussion and the new Docomo tagline.

Even real journalism about the rebrand play out like an Onion parody.
Who knew that a geometric sans-serif could be so lewd?

I really didn't see the connotation until I read the comments, I guess my mind isn't as dirty as I thought it was.

LMFAO!!! Von, thanks for clarifying!
That and this quote from the article definitely have something to do! “We were impressed with the integrated approach FHD had to offer, which combined expertise in workings of government.” –director of communications at the OGC."
Lovely.

I can't believe they let that go down. And nice animation Von. You should send that to their web master.
