Last month we learned about 
Last month we learned about PwC's new look to welcome that portrayed beauty and majesty of autumn. That and it reminded us something that Harry Pitfall might encounter if aliens landed. Anyway, people have their opinions on the new look and Bob Moritz is okay with that as long as it doesn't concern the color or shape. The latest twist in this seemingly unending logo-mama drama was brough to our attention by a reader who saw an eery resemblance between PwC pwc's new look at the new look of recently rebranded and ridiculed retailer The Gap.
Caleb, Does is strike you as odd that soon after PWC changes their logo the GAP changes theirs to a similar style? Although Deloitte is currently GAP Inc. auditors, the company may be opinion shopping. Changing the company logo to look like their would be auditors' is a surefire way to get the desired opinion. This may be a total coincidence. However should GAP grab headlines in the style of the Universal Travel Group and hop over to PWC, at least now you won't be surprised.
Our reader brings up an excellent point. We admit that the new logos aren't identical but there's more than a slight chance that they are brothers from another mother. So what's the deal here? Maybe it is a coinky-dink. But then again, you would think that the cheap denim, khakis and plain t's business would be thriving in this economy. If our reader is to be believed, Gap may be trying to find an auditor that's willing to look the other way on [ideas on financial reporting chicanery are welcome]. And it just so happens that a certain professional service provider has also been recently taken some heat for their rebranding. The only thing we can be sure of is that if Ernst & Young is serious about their makeover, they should resist the temptation to stick with squares. Like we said, the motives here are not obvious and it's imperative that we get to the bottom of this mystery, so that involves getting your ideas. Nothing is too crazy.
