Every official Australian logo reviewed and ranked

For a change of pace, we're going down under to take a look at the logos of Australia at the national, state and territory, and city level and give them an analytical critique. We'll see what trends emerge and completely nitpick needless details. Warning: high risk of severe burns for the Gold and Sunshine coast, as well as Tasmania and the state of New South Wales. ;)
