“Fresh Bread Marketing?”

A new logo for a north Devon resort which some residents have likened to a sperm has been defended by a “laid back” council.

The “idiosyncratic” swirl incorporated in the £5,000 logo for Ilfracombe has been criticised on the town’s website.


Critics have said it makes the town a “laughing stock”, but the council said it had no plans to change the logo.

Fresh Bread Marketing said the swirl on the logo was meant to resemble a fish or dolphin.

The swirl represents the dot on the “i” of Ilfracombe on the logo “Ilfracombe - curious coastal charm”.
