This one is Angry Beetham, a parody account in twitter [1] that 
personifies Beetham Tower [2], the *tallest building in UK outside of 
London*.

It looks like "I Love MCR" is a registered trademark[3]. It has been the 
symbol of the city after the terrorist attack a month ago. You can still 
see this logo everywhere. They claim that they donate 10% of every order 
to the "We Love Manchester" Charity [4].

I quite like the design number 4, and I wonder if we can reach an 
agreement with them (maybe donating something to this charity), to use 
the logo.

Please note that I just wanted to give some extra information, and that 
I don't have strong opinions on the designs :)

Regards,
Pedro.
