DailyDirt: Leggo My Logo…

Shakespeare wrote: What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet. — but how much does a company’s name really matter? Here are a few quick links on corporate logos and some branding twists.
- Graham Smith is swapping the names behind various logos in an ongoing project — that looks a bit confusing at times. Modified logos are fun — hopefully, though, the artists behind them won’t be sued for trademark violations…. [url]
- The ninth annual LogoLounge report on logo trends is out, covering 2011. This year’s colors are lighter and seem to include a lot of leaves. [url]
- Graphic designers from 2007 might remember this catchy song with the refrain: “Make The Logo Bigger!” “I don’t wanna tell you how to do your job, but could you make the logo bigger?” [url]
- Coca-cola is going to make its Diet Coke logo so big — that it won’t quite fit on the can. Thankfully, they didn’t mess with the formula for Diet Coke. [url]
- To discover more interesting advertising-related content, check out what’s floating around on StumbleUpon. [url]
By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

You can, Toucan!
I thought about sending this when I first read it in the Detroit News, but my brain had a caffeine deficiency and I couldn’t think of a silly way to frame it.

Re: You can, Toucan!
wow, are they fucking stupid? those two are nothing alike
way to go for being so delusional & entitled to think that they are the exclusive owners of logos with toucans on ’em
ok that new diet coke design is probably the most ridiculous thing i’ve seen in a while

lawsuits are for kids!
Logos
I opened the link to the logos but did not look at them for several minutes as I was distracted by something else. When I accessed the page, I didn’t really pay much attention as to what I was seeing, just a bunch of logos. I noticed that the logos were different, but did not recognize, at first, that they were merged with competitors. What does this tell us about the power of a logo?
