Re: Logos / Pepsi bilked by Jesus
i know i missed the ruminations re. Pathos - er, Logos... however, jpyanota and i saw a curious subvertee for Jesus yesterday in the context of a Pepsi logo. eyp, j-e-s-u-s right where you usually see the p-e-p-s-i. jp remarked, who does pepsi take on in that case? compliments of the season, cp On Thu, 7 Dec 1995, Andrew P.

Logos

I thought they stole it from Waylon Jennings who stole it from Van Halen. Don't they get shit on for copyright reasons? I mean, if you stuffed your band's logo into the shape of a Coke bottle you'd never get on a major label because Coke would sue the pants off you the moment the record hit gold. TH's John Boomer-Star Wars logo and the Smart Bomb Atari cartridge were both funny and made sense because the logo tied in with the title and were nods to the early-80's pop culture that seems to have been quite an influence on them. Nobody was expecting big sales so no worry of George Lucas knocking on the door at Ravenrock Lane. Compare that to Merge's knockoff Irving Oil logo which must have been a nod to the coolness of wearing gas jockey shirts, and was kinda risky considering it's a local company. But I'm still talking about locals here, can a major seller get away with it nationally? More examples? Next thing James, Jim and Tara will design a Monkees-inspired logo for their label!
