As spotted by Mike of Surrey.
A while ago I spotted (but failed to blog) that the FT appeared to have commissioned a series of photographs of bank logos. Essentially the signs of Barclays, RBS and the others photographed in many different ways. At night, in the rain, on wooden signs, on illuminated signs and so on.
This, as we've discussed before, is because of a dearth of decent images concerning the Credit Crunch.
This would be a good one though, wouldn't it? Especially for Mandy's comments asking people to stop "bashing" the bankers.
Seriously if you're from the FT or something, give Mike a call, buy this photo off him and win front page of the year at the Press Awards.
can i put in a bid to win with my 'unstable banks' sign: http://www.funkypancake.com/blog/archives/2008/09/unstable-bank.html

Cheers Ben - just waiting for the phone to ring now. Funky Pancake's is pretty good too - the other side of the story, perhaps?

What really is a credit crunch?
A credit crunch (also known as a credit squeeze or credit crisis) is a reduction in the general availability of loans (or credit) or a sudden tightening of the conditions required to obtain a loan from the banks. A credit crunch generally involves a reduction in the availability of credit independent of a rise in official interest rates. In such situations, the relationship between credit availability and interest rates has implicitly changed, such that either credit becomes less available at any given official interest rate, or there ceases to be a clear relationship between interest rates and credit availability (i.e. credit rationing occurs).
We are currently facing a severe one globally.
