It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I don't know if it was THE logo, but I feel like I've definitely seen that around before. They still used Geoffrey, but definitely not as much.

It was on Toysrusinc.com so that's probably a corporate logo but some company phased out their logo for corporate like MLB team using cap logo as thier logo. As for Geoffrey granted I haven't seen much Toys R Us commercials but the 2017 no Geoffrey

I worked at a local Toys R Us this past Christmas (long story short: helped out a friend who is the manager). They used that logo on a lot of stationary. 

They brought in a Geoffrey costume and made a staff member wear it a couple of Saturdays, apparently the goal was to bring him back. I'm not sure if this just applied to stores in the Toronto area, all of Canada, or otherwise. 

I just remember my buddy saying that management hoped that bring back Geoffrey would help increase sales.....which may explain a lot, lol. 

 

Also, the head of that costume (neck and up) was stored in the lunch room and creeped me out, lol.

Never liked the reverse R.

Their whole wordmark just seems like they were aiming at kids but they didn't get it right.

I liked it cause it was unique the last logo looked corporate

It was an example of the same imitation-child writing as "I can has cheezburger?" decades later.

Or Huney like Winnie The pooh ?

 

No, I beg to differ.

Cheezburger was to those who wanted to partake in a new wave of rebellion and decided to just throw caution to the wind.

Pooh's Huney was targeted to a certain age group that showed it was ok to be different.

 

Toys R Us are a corporate entity that sell toys to all children of different ages yet chose to target those really young ones by having the R facing backwards which made it look childish and simplistic.

Same as Rebel having an e facing backwards because they want to be seen as rebelling against the man, when they are part of the man in a grander scheme of things.
