The EU has chosen a logo (right) to celebrate its 50th birthday next year. It was designed by Polish student Szymon Skrzypczak who entered it into the EU’s competition.
The licensing rules preclude me from editing the image, so I’ll have to explain the change I would make: swap the “E” with the “é”. It might be different in other languages, but in French “é” is pronounced “eh” rather than “uh” – in other words, more like the second syllable in “Together” than the third.
Pedantic, moi?
It’s very nice, but given that two new member states join in 2007, shouldn’t it say “Together since 2007”?
Two can play at this pedant’s lark.
Do the licensing rules forbid poorly-executed pastiche like this? (Dunno if image tags work in these comments…) Perhaps I ought to go check how the EUCD is coming along these days. 🙂
Anagrams that didn’t make the cut included “H. gets erection” and “secret thin ego”.
Coincidentally, I have a secret thin ego. Last seen in 1957.
The thrid syllable should be replaced with the Euro sign.

Incidently, the first letter of the principally adopted currancy in the rest of Europe sounds like “é” in Portugeuse…
