Hmmm...

...and eBay was established in 1995, not afterward. And by extending the logic, auction houses have been around for centuries also. :blink:

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

Yes, but computers, the internet and -by extension - virtual, on-line auction houses have not existed for centuries. Therefore, the service provided by eBay is distinct from a conventional, "brick-and-mortar" auction house. Which was recognized in the entry's conversion of eBay into a pawn brokerage.

By contrast, the Maersk ad in this competition promoted Maersk Line commercial shipping services... an entity and service that existed well in advance of 1995.

That said, you are correct about eBay having been founded in 1995. That wouldn't fit the criteria of a consumer product/company established "after 1995".

My third Logolympiad.. and first ever medal!

And here I thought I was being original with my Viagra one!

Great job by everyone - after seeing the other entries I didnt expect to medal.

I will have to save the picture of the overall standings, cause this is the only time I'll be anywhere near the top.
