If the top figure was half black, half white, I would have thought it perfect for Michael Jackson's next album, If Lovin' You Is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Rite.

OH MY GOD. I wonder how business is. Didn't ANYONE pull someone over and say "um, I don't think the logo's gonna work"?

I suggest you do that thing where you apply brainpower before typing. When I spot an image that looks too big, I verify the size before taking action. Every browser shows the dimensions as width x height, so 640x480 means it's 640 wide and 480 tall, not the other way around.

I think that the image looks good for its representing. Seems very fitting for a pediatric practice.

WD, in case it's not too obvious, it looks like the smaller person's head is being thrust onto the protruding groin of the larger person, in what appears to be an iconograph of oral sex.

Not. Good. At. All.

Probably what it looks like to us...

[Wow, this is rare: All inline images must also be no taller than 720 pixels. It's all in the rules, plainly visible above any forum listing. --tooki]

Edit: I was not aware of that. The following complies with the current forum rules (the biggest inline image in this post is 431x430 px):

Angus is refering to the subject of this thread. The usage "logo's" refers to a posessive situation: the logo owns something. However it seems that (both from context in the subject and from the actual content of the post) that shabbasuraj actually meant to refer to "logo" in the multiple sense, as in "logos."

I have to agree with Angus, too. Please watch what you use an apostrophe with and in, so that your meaning is clear.

I thought he meant, "Company logo has gone bad..."

But, most likely you two are right.

E, would that many others could interpret the noted usage as you did! It is actually grammatically correct, but that usage is far less common than the mistaken usage I wrote about. And I think the context of both the subject and the message bear me out in my interpretation. That makes me sad, because I LIKE English (even though I misuse it from time to time-as in capitalizing the word when it isn't supposed to be...)

Or, missing words, e.g., doubt above

No, my phrasing was antique, but correct. "Would that this were true," though definitely out of date, is quite correct.

But I still wish other people could recognize the contraction you did...

Oh, my apologies, señor. You learn something new everyday. Perhaps a few antique novels are in order
