Rich no worries - the irony was that they are pushing the basic yellow triangle on everything but their brand guidelines tells us to use a different one!
On the upside the logos are now owned by the HSE so if it ever changes again the scheme and its name will remain. CORGI owned their own logos and sold it to CORGI Direct ( commercial division, profit making etc ) for £350k +.

I hear Corgi are keeping a register of engineers so that you will still be able to pgone corgi and they will put you in touch with a Gas Safe engineer!!! That'll help with the confusion no end!!

The sign writers are doing alright out of it, i had my van done today. Looks carp compared to corgi, but hey ho what can we do. As you say i don't think theres been enough media coverage on the change over, only the other day i was asked for my corgi card. "I don't have one" "But i do have this card that looks like i printed it last night on my computer that says i'm GAS SAFE!!!!

True! Hence pay the £95 to be on it! Could be a tidy income stream.

Yep! But YOU had to pay for it! Add in business stationery (letterhead, cards etc.) and you can see how it mounts as a cost to us.
