So there is this really amazing design site that goes through Logo updates for companies around the world and discusses them. Brand New. Most of the time they are real, but many times they’re just fake mock ups. The cool part is (well cool if your into that kind of thing) they’ll have the old and new logo’s right next to each other so you can see the changes.
MOST of the time they are very legit and professional, however today’s just made me laugh =)

You are a little wrong, that website/blog is ALL legit redesigns. NONE of them are mock ups. It doesn’t make it onto that blog unless it is legit. They are picky as to what they show on their. I’ve submitted some before, and they didn’t post them, but they always reply.
The designer behind the site is a pretty cool dude, I even wrote him an email asking him to mail me his business card, and he totally did it.
No this one was just for fun.
No Matt, reread the website, here I will quote it here:
“Who would have thought that a web site called Your Logo Makes me Barf would one day influence the identity design of a state-level organization? This past July, when YLMMB added the logo of the Wisconsin Tourism Federation (WTF) to its list of victims — along with the inevitable post title of “WTF Wisconsin?! — the change was set in motion. Yesterday, Milwaukee’s Journal Sentinel reported that WTF had changed its logo to avoid the now infamous acronym of the words “What”, “The,” and “Fuck.” From now on they are to be known as the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin (TFW) with a logo to match.” ( http://ow.ly/NPAo )
The only joke is the last one after the “equal” sign, but it is and was a REAL redesign of a logo.
