That's excellent. I'm glad someone else doesn't like the new logo.Stuart Ian Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132101517832896837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007066.post-1126383872250441922005-09-10T20:24:00.000+00:002005-09-10T20:24:00.000+00:00The Mug was part of a promotion The Guardian launc...The Mug was part of a promotion The Guardian launched in 1994 for university students. I know because I signed up for it. You'd get books of vouchers giving you money off each edition of the paper, and when you'd used up a certain number of books you could send off for free gifts. There was The Mug, The Football, The Toaster, The Bag and a couple of other things. I ended up with two Mugs and the Toaster, plus a Football for someone I was sharing a house with at the time. Still use the Mugs and Toaster today, and I've no intention of throwing them away, particularly now. And especially as the new Guardian logo looks awful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
