I Don't Get It

I may be sticking my foot in my mouth with this post, but I really don't get it. I am not trying to be rude, I really just don't see it. I have found this design in countless magazines. It seems to have won many awards. Evidently, the designers have accomplished something truly amazing.


All I see is the logo printed extremely large on a grate. I don't doubt that there's something more going on here. It was designed by Pentagram, for heaven's sake. Can you tell me what I'm missing?

That behind the facade is the most elitist, arrogant editorial team in history? Whose motto is 'Only the news that fits'.
