    I don't see the issue. Obviously on this drawing North is to the left, because you rotate a drawing in whatever way makes the most sense for that project. It's not a map. It's probably not even a site plan. It's an architectural drawing.

    If architectural drawings always had North be up there wouldn't need to be North arrows in the first place. They would also be unnecessarily confusing a lot of the time for no good reason.

    True North, which is actually West.

    Maybe you're just supposed to face East while looking at their logo

    The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south.

    I was being a dick - but to me it’s an arrow pointing to the left signifying North. It’s a bad symbol because I can see how it could be interpreted differently.

    Quite clearly to the left

    Yeah, I dont get the confusion here. Its a pretty standard arrow thats lacking 2-3 lines.

    Hardly a puzzle.

    Clearly. I don't see how one doesn't see an arrow to the left though

    What direction could it be pointing other than left? It looks like an arrow.

    This would actually be a great logo if they rotated the lines 90° clockwise, the lowest line bisecting the 'O' in north, and adding flourishes to make that O a compass rose.
