LogoWatch So what do you do when you merge two camera companies? You guessed it, you design a new logo. Not only do you design a new logo, but you are overcome with an inexplicable urge to imbue your new marque with instant import.

You fail miserably to resist this inexplicable urge; instead you are irresistably drawn to tell world+dog what your logo means. World+dog shrugs shoulders, but you know better. After all your award-winning design consultancy has charged you a small fortune to distil everything you want to convey about your company into that nice new logo.

So Konica Minolta, ignore the sneers of the design illiterates and join the logotype elite.

P.S. We love your "Innovation Blue." ®
