Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Heaven forbid we have both versions of the logo.

Having 2 logos as a brand is not good. You want one recognizable and prominent standard logo.

If the guy on the barrel is just instantly recognizable as the name using a specific font, than you can have both.

That's an interesting take. What college did you get your degree in marketing and graphic design from?

Tell that to all the brands who have both a logo and a mascot, especially those whose mascot does not appear as part of the logo or only selectively appears alongside it. Geico, Progressive, Pillsbury, Planters, M&Ms, Ronald before he was discontinued, etc. And somehow Adidas has like four logos (all with recognizable silhouettes and with good use of negative space!) and they haven't tanked yet.

None. I grew up surrounded by mascots.
