The CBC Logo Appears in Beer Ads

A couple of readers have emailed me recently about an ad campaign for Stella Artois that recycled an old CBC logo. The campaign is apparently running in the tube in London.

Heather Kitching, who originally alerted me to the ads, asked “Is this unauthorized, or is this the CBC’s new method of generating revenue? :-) ”

Here’s another shot of the ad from Sylvain Allard’s blog.

Of course this isn’t the first time the CBC logo has been appropriated. Last year the CBC logo appeared in an ad for a dental clinic in Peru.

It’s also appeared in various other places, including dresses, t-shirts, and strangely a frying pan.

    Glad no lock out until at least 2014 says:

    Nice use of the pizza.

    I remember the modified “Pirate flag” version from the Lockout of 2005.

    Back in 1992, I remember being in Melbourne, and there being an office downtown that had a VERY similar logo – but in a green like the one in the t-shirt you posted…couldn’t find an image.
