So the parent company that I work for recently acquired Reuters and the two have merged. Any of you NYC'ers probably saw the fanfare all over the subway system and in Times Square today.
Anyhow, since we love logos and typography and whatnot on the QBN, thought I'd share it with you.

There's a pretty cool ad campaign in progress to announce this - most people have heard of Reuters but Thomson isn't as well known.
I like the logo; we saw a commercial today that incorporated it as animation and it was really nice. Hoping that it runs on TV.
Anyhow, I work for a much smaller company in the mix with only approx 125 employees. This newly merged company has 50,000+ employees worldwide!

I like it quite a bit. The funny thing is, our company has it's own identity like so many other companies under Thomson. The new stuff doesn't effect us too much - new b-cards, some new inner-office logo changes, etc. Some other Thomson businesses are in our building as well.
Like I said, I hope the commercial I saw runs on TV. They used a Sigur Ros song that was great. Very "global presence" feel.

WHAT THE FARK?
The Original Reuters Logo was a classic. And Reuters is such a powerful name... over ehre at least. Thomson is a fucking holiday company. You can't do this! Didn't one of the greats design the Reuters Logo? Paul Rand, or Loewy or that Shvartz lady?THIS IS FARKED. BRING BACK REUTERS. NOW FUCKO.

I started off doing loads of Reuters work when i left college, the logo wasn't blue and orange, it was russet and marine!

I really hope they run the commercial. You could almost say the dots are born out of the way they use certain images in it.
