German designer Erik Spiekermann gave a scathing review of the ’06 World Cup logo. The first time I saw it was when my aunt brought me a World Cup t-shirt from Germany.

My 8 year old daughter has had a heavy dose of soccer this spring:

- she is playing on her first soccer team
- I am the team’s coach
- the World Cup is on

For fathers day she made a card which features a hand drawing of me. In the drawing I am wearing my World Cup ’06 t-shirt, logo included. It’s very interesting that she would remeber this logo because I have not worn this t-shirt very often. What does she remember? Three soccer balls with happy faces on them. I would say it’s not such a bad logo after all, Erik.
