And so it goes with Grab-N-Go Burger of Aberdeen, Maryland, whose red and yellow logo has In-N-Out execs a little uncomfy with its proximity to their own. more ›

Iran is protesting the abstract date logo for London's 2012 Olympic Games claiming the numbers spell out the word "Zion." By contrast, we said it looked like Lisa Simpson on her knees in 2007 when it first debuted. more ›

Your daily cup of store-bought Starbucks brew just got a little nekkid, thanks to a logo redesign released today by the global coffeehouse powerhouse. Like any lady reaching the big four-oh, it was time for a bit of a makeover. The mermaid is bigger, and, apparently, like most of the half-dressed Hollywood celebutantes who carry her around in their skeletal hands while the paparazzi pounce, so easily recognized she doesn't need to say who she is. more ›

Sundance premiere's "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys" tonight at 10pm and the promos lead us to believe that this is in the old territory of exploitive reality shows - prove us wrong Sundance! --- Viewership numbers for last night's premiere of "Men of a Certain Age" are discouraging.

You might think it's just fast food, but for national chain Jack in the Box, image is everything. The company is announcing today via iconic "mouthpiece" CEO Jack Box they are embarking on "a major brand overhaul that includes a new modern logo, the debut of sliders and a makeover at more than 2,000 restaurants," according to the OC Register's Fast Food Maven. Rumors swirled about logo changes last year when they tested new signage at locations in San Diego, where the restaurant began in 1951 and remains headquartered today. CEO Jack hasn't been "seen" since the SuperBowl, when he was hit by a bus, stirring fears among fans and loyalists that the sphere-headed spokesman would be gone forever. Something tells us, though, most people won't care what the logo looks like as long as they can still get two tacos for 99 cents! more ›

Which left the stars of the show, RuPaul, A-list invitees and certain (cough) photographers stranded outside. more ›
