The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet has revealed its new “Women’s Network” logo and it’s caused an uproar on social media due to its phallic appearance.
The new Women’s Network, a part of the department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, is dedicated to gender equality, and recently revealed its logo much to the amusement of social media users. Many people initially thought the logo was fake because of its clear resemblance to a penis.
“I really thought this logo for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinets women’s network was fake but uh … do they know?” one person on Twitter wrote.
Another said they were hoping it was a joke that went too far. But no, it appears to be serious.
“Why have the juvenile idiots in your department made male genitalia out of the Women’s Network logo? How hilarious,” political commentator Ronni Salt wrote.
“Let’s degrade women. Again. Anybody who understands graphic design knows this is deliberate. Anybody who didn’t catch this isn’t doing their job.”
The National Older Women’s Network wrote: “I thought this was satire, but it is either thoughtless or an insult. Public money was spent getting a graphic artist, choosing the designing, selecting colours, approving, printing and publishing this logo for the Prime Minister’s and Cabinet’s Women’s Network. Poor messaging.”
