Free Magenta - NOW!
Jump to Comments
Wowww, I never ever thought I would ever see something as ridiculous as this!
It reads like this on Advertblog:
“In The Netherlands, a social movement is born to protect the free use of the magenta colour in communication materials. The fight has begun recently, when mobile carrier T-Mobile has started a legal fight versus a series of Dutch brands such as Slam FM, Compello and 100% NL which magenta in their logo.
Basically T-Mobile claims it owns the rights to use magenta in commercial materials, saying the registered them at the Oami… It’s such a silly thing!”
I am truly speachless… T-Mobile is really getting the big head syndrome!
Luce, watch out! lol :)

I hope Orange, Bleu Nuit and so on do not do the same because our life will get monochromatic pretty fast.
Frankly, I think a company shows its lack any creativity and purpose when it cannot find something more productive to do than suing other brands for the use of a universal color. It is pathetic!
