I laugh every time i see this campaign on TV. The logo is easily misinterpreted.

Your computer have a power button, by chance?

I’m sure they’re aware of it. It is funny though. So... not an odd font choice, but an appropriate one.

i like the video. It has a guy in front of, possibly, 30 screens telling us to reduce our power consumption.
huh?

i think jox was referring to the name and logo.

the more i think about it, the more the "power button" looks like a little hand giving the finger

That's the point. It's supposed to appeal to the younger crowd.

Oh, I see. The logo is flipping the kids off. That's fine. I can get behind a message like that.

If someone stuck a flickoff sticker on my macbook screen, I would almost certainly punch them.

It's supposed to be attention-grabbing. Whether it's a positive thing does matter (obviously, since the message is about awareness and blah blah), but they're also trying to get a hold on teens and send them a message.

re: the font choice
it was done on purpose as a "tongue in cheek" thing.
Politicians were up in arms about it and how it sends a bad message etc. Got them nothing but more publicity for the campaign.There's a picture of some politician standing in front of part of the 'L' somewhere... made it totally look like "fuckoff". They put that baby all over the papers.

Just makes me want to tell them to shut the flick up..
I've never owned or driven a car, I havent eaten meat for 18 years, my carbon footprint is about a quarter of most of these lefty media layabouts..
