DailyDirt: A Logo With Any Other Name..?

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

Some companies spend a lot of effort tweaking their logo and making sure their brand image stays shiny and new. But how much does it really matter? There are some truly iconic corporate logos, but it's really the businesses behind the logos that create the image of the company. Not the other way around. Or maybe a nice reliable-looking logo really does inspire a company and its employees to bleed purple or something.... By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    There are tons of "fun projects" to mix up logos....

    Logo designers have been mixing up logos for years... and selling tshirts for them (until trademark cops get to them)

    wrongbrand.com -- seems to have died out, but you used to be able to buy shirts from these guys.

    If Coca-Cola had Pepsi's logo and the other way around - would it compel you to drink the other cola?

    Doubt it. Seriously. At least in 98% of cases, anyway.

    Re: Pepsi

    Agreed.. but some folks really don't like the new Pepsi logo:

    And it's kinda interesting that Pepsi's logo in the 1950s looks sorta like Coca-Cola's logo...
