Stadler, can you decipher this one for me please?
'Cause to me, it looks like he's suggesting the other guys are too dumb to realize the symbol they've been using for 30 years is different.
See, here we go again. Just when I think I'm out, they SUCK me back in!
He's not doing anything of the sort. He is:
a) noting that the symbol is different, and
b) giving two potential reasons why, neither of which are "too dumb to realize". Those are YOUR words. The first reason is intentional change, and the second is they didn't notice. You don't have to be "dumb" not to notice.
And before we get on him, let's not forget that Marillion, Yes, Iron Maiden (especially Iron Maiden) and Kiss have all been very specific about their logos. Different arena, but when I worked for GE, and GE used to own NBC, there were posters on EVERY FLOOR with SPECIFIC instructions on the use of the NBC peacock. You could not add borders, you could not change colors (without specific permission from marketing), you could not change the size of the feathers, you could not change the spaces in between... it was crazy.
