Remember the hideous Visit Malaysia 2020 logo revealed to the public early January 2018 by former Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz? Hint: Orangutan wearing sunglasses.
Bearing the tagline “Travel. Enjoy. Respect”, the logo was heavily criticized by everyone although Nazri tried to defend it by saying they had their best in-house design team to come up with the logo!
