A friend (fiend?) pointed out that BEA's new Weblogic 9.0
(alias "Diablo") has a new mascot/logo.
OMGWTF!
How can a $1B Company
produce such a horrible mascot; did they outsource their marketing department
to a kindergarten?
And "It runs like the Devil" is the slogan!? The BEA marketing department
sat down, pooled their collective wit and creativity, and came up with...
It runs like the Devil?!
And what's with the jaundiced, fat-necked imp taking a wizz?
Maybe in the fiery hell-hole it calls home light diffracts according
to different rules,
but in this plane of existance your shadow is meant to at least resemble
the projection of your silhouette onto the ground. Can anyone say
"MS Paint"?
This may all sound a bit harsh, and I'm not Picasso myself, but it is
quite easy to find people that
know how to knock up a good logo. Hell, even a cash-poor Open Source
project
can come up with
goodlogos.
