Get RID OF THE ENRON E

60 points posted to Advertising and Marketing by reg 03/09/07

Mr. Dell -

<font>Get RID of that Enron E from your logo - right now it looks reallly really bad.</font>

Like a Evil 'devils horns' Omen of Bad things to come...

Changing your logo for a corporation is like getting rhinoplasty, a boob job, dying your hair, wearing 6" platforms, and gaining 200lbs in a week: they'd be totally unrecognizable. Terrible idea!

Apple Computer Inc. is now Apple, Inc.

Take a clue - after all, the choice is yours.

Dell can change, or Dell can be

L E F T - B E H I N D .

Changing the logo is something companies working to re-shape their image do all the time...

And, yes, it DOES bring Enron to mind... bad association.

Every time I see that E, I Think :

'Delron'.

A lot of people got really burned by Enron, I wonder if Dell ever noticed?

(I think Dell had the E logo before Enron, but Enron made it Infamous, HATED even. It creeps me out just to look at it.)

Yes, it's a symbol of catastrophic business _and_ ethical failure... but, how long has Dell had its logo?

I'd only say it's appropriate now because Dell is trying to right itself and its fortunes... do the logo also, while they're at it...

So, do they want to start a logo design contest, perhaps??

Please Photoshop your new Dell Logo,
put it up on Flicker,
and then link / post it back here:

On second thought,

- you might as well keep the E - call it Truth in advertising...
