£30,000 for 'near identical' logo
A Government agency has paid £30,000 to have minor alterations made to their logo.
Obviously when the 'Border and Immigration Agency' became the 'UK Border Agency' earlier this year, their logo needed to change to reflect their new name.
But now it has been revealed the changes - which could have been done by your average seven-year-old in five minutes - cost a whopping £30,000.
The agency, part of the Home Office, paid £12,000 in design fees, plus £17,000 to allow the bungling bureaucrats to use it.
A booklet was even produced, at an additional cost of £1,200, to 'teach' managers how the logo should be used - at least these people aren't responsible for anything important ... like securing the UK borders.
The details of the costs have only come to light because of a Parliamentary question asked by Damian Green, the shadow immigration minister.
