It is fascinating to see what alternatives were under consideration. From the comments, there seems to be a consensus that the ultimate winner was indeed streets ahead, but is that just familiarity and hindsight? I have seen how much organisations obsess about logos, the European Parliament being no exception, and how strong opinions can be, but still there are logo-sceptics, who believe that it doesn’t really matter, it being the ultimate association which matters.  Perhaps graphic designers out there can tell us why they do matter so much?
