With the world currently on lockdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak, and having thouroughly cleaned the office, implemented a new filing system and looked at numerous YouTube videos to pass the time, we thought it would be worth having a look at the various Coronavirous logos created by media outlets and businesses, and see if we could do better.
