As I think I've said before on this list:  unless a company's logo appears
in the upper-left-hand corner of your paycheck, you're not obligated to
attempt to match the stylization of its logo when you're writing that
company's name in plain text.

For example, this is the most recent mention that I can find in the L.A.
Times:
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-dick-clark-thurlow-coo-20140713-story.html

Kevin, if I recall correctly, they still owe you money, so I'm surprised
you're not putting the name in all-caps with a few expletives in there as
well.

 Yep, about $3000 owed to me from when I was working on two shows for them
at the same time (The Source Sound Lab and the PGA Golden Laurels, for
those keeping score). They had shorted me about $700 prior to that when
they shortened the production schedule of one of the Your Big Break
seasons, but that's neither here nor there.

 As I said, if I was forced.

Benched has an almost identical beginning as Jaime Pressly's Jennifer
Falls. Upwardly mobile woman snaps after getting screwed and is forced to
settle for a job she feels is beneath her. Even if I hadn't seen it just a
