727 hours is a team of 10 working for less than 2 work weeks. Or a team of 6 having a couple 1-hour meetings with other groups in addition to doing the design work. It'd be hard for any medium to large organization with an internal design team to rebrand without using hundreds of hours of staff time.

- snowwrestler 10y agoThe entire budget of 18F is about 10 cents per taxpayer. 700 staff hours is far below a penny per taxpayer. I'm fine with it. In addition, most 18F employees are salaried, so this is not likely to be an actual cost overrun, but rather an opportunity cost.
- pryelluw 10y agoYes, good point. What I don't get is 727 hours for that specific logo. Either way, it just stood out.
- Pyxl101 10y ago> What I don't get is 727 hours for that specific logo. It's not 727 hours for the logo. It was that many hours for the entire rebranding effort, including coming up with the brand and implementing it. When coming up with logos and brands, it's often necessary to brainstorm ideas, try many of them out, review them with stakeholders, before finally settling on one vision and then executing it.
