It seems to me that if a corporation uses an animal image in its logo, that corporation should

Exxon, obviously, and tigers
Pacific Life and whales
GOP and elephants

There's a group in France called "Save Your Logo" --- http://www.saveyourlogo.org/

What do you think?

So I see it not happening, these big corps have a great way of f-ing up free lunches. I am not sure due to imcompetence or they are just plain old asses and like to F things up.

Then again we may not be running out of dung beetles.

How about the Tahoe Stonefly. Apparently it lives it's whole life underwater.



What corporation could adopt that as it's logo?
