Dear Sir/Madam,

-- When was your current logo, corporate style and branding
implemented?
-- Who designed it?
-- How much were the designers paid for their services?
-- Were other designers consulted? Was there competition? If so, who
was involved, and was any payment made to unsuccessful firms?
-- Are there any "alternate" versions of the branding (as in, any
which were designed but not taken up), and if so, please supply an
electronic copy.

Yours faithfully,
Steve Elibank
