Here is my SI (mole based) version of the witty retort (alembic). I hope
this isn't sacrilege.

Why cant we just stick to the old witty retort, biochemists are known and
loved for such things.

I like it also, but think it should be more blurred to reflect vagueness
about who we are and also as an oblique reference to training (i.e. out of
Focus). :-)

Might be better to use primary colours and include blue for the apparent
mood of members. We can then synthesize any colour we like.

I like it - but some colours are needed: red for blood, yellow for urine and
green for political correctness?

Here here. How about the following logo:

 



 

It can represent (i) the era of "black box" chemistry analysis, (ii) the
gaping black hole left in the profession as the current trainees are forced
to leave alongside the retiring consultants, and (iii) the casket into which
the ashes of the profession can be swept once the pyre of Carter and NHS
privatisation have burnt through.

 

On a positive note, it conforms to our current Trust "Printer
Rationalisation Programme" (no colour printers).

 

Best wishes,


Adam

Dear All,

May I suggest that the effort currently being expended on the history of the
acb logo, may be more productively used in finding jobs in the profession
for the junior members. Without effective succession planning the logo
"issue" seems a bit pointless as we will no longer have a "brand" to sell.

Kind regards,

Mel

I think this discussion would have added value if some (dare I say it)
younger people could also join in. The logo will be your logo the next time
this debate may be raised. Enjoyable/stimulating input so far!

The spiral looks like an old (very old!) AA1 mixing coil viewed end-on - but
perhaps I'm just showing my age!

Importance: Low

Wow!  This discussion made me take a look at the AACC logo for the first
time.  I don't have a clue what the spiral is supposed to mean - a
hurricane?; a QC target?  Certainly it (the spiral by itself) would not make
anyone in the lay public or a clinical chemist think of clinical chemistry
or laboratory medicine.  AACC by itself could mean American Association of
College Cheerleaders.  I guess you have to take the logo in its entirety,
including "Improving healthcare through laboratory medicine."  -Jim
