SteveR Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Interesting to see that Walgreens has found cause to sue over logo infringement:http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20101101/business/101109978/I don't see that it's all that similar. Nationals' cap logo is closer, but that's not similar either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ha! I called it 2 years ago!Upgrade by a long shot IMO. Although its got a bit of a Walgreens vibe, seeing that they are in different industries, not a huge deal.Unlike the Brooklyn one, these are similar industries (which I didn't realize at the time of my post) so I can see Walgreen's beef all the way...But I also just found this:https://www.wegmans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&krypto=G2fxk6p%2BKn%2BeE9bnEUF7GeBMSFUDV5lXMIqFUfFCTW0Y5DYQ%2FdFoTic0l633SMZn&ddkey=http:ProductDisplayLook at the 30's and 40's marks. Those were decades before Walgreen's. Maybe they can flip this into "You infringed on US!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 When did Walgreen's start with the pretzel-W? Was it before or after the Washington Senators pretzel-W? Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 This reminds me of the classic Gino's Pizza Rolls commercial...in this case, Walgreen's is Lucky Strike, while Wegmans is both Gino's AND the Lone Ranger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's a retail store that starts with a W and has a script, I could buy the lawsuit.Having said that, Campbell's Soup really ought to get in on that action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetically, I kind of think the '90s logo looks better on the building, but I definitely think that the latest one is more fitting for the store.

Quillz Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think the Senators were first with the curly W, hence why the Nats continue to use it.Or maybe the MLB has deeper pockets than Walgreens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
