Talk:Procter & Gamble

They've definitely got a lot of money to throw around. When I was in high-school I participated in the F.I.R.S.T. robotics competition. Basically a high-school is teamed up with a company and they make a robot to play some sort of a game in six weeks. Then all the teams go to EPCOT to battle it out. Procter and Gamble spent over a million dollars in extra labor for their employees to work overtime in the last week before the competition. Curiously enough our team finished better than theirs did.

Regarding P&G's problem with satanic rumors, the company has sued many people over the years for millions of dollars. A notable exception has been P&G's reluctance to take any action whatsoever against the Church of Ouzo for distributing its paper entitled "That Infamous Logo". This paper actually caused P&G to attempt the rewriting of history by eliminating from its pamphlet on the moon-and-stars logo the fact that its trademark evolved from a "crude cross." There is evidence that P&G entered into a conspiracy with the FBI to conduct an illegal investigation of the Church of Ouzo, and the business reporter who covered P&G for the Cincinnati Enquirer wanted to do an investigative story, but was turned down by her editor. Full documentation is available in PDF format from bobevenson@yahoo.com.

Is that logo the former logo? I still see it used often to represent Procter and Gamble... --24.147.128.141 01:46, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The moon-and-stars logo was P&G's trademark on all its products until the logo controversy. P&G's new twin towers in Cincinnati were designed to have the logo inscribed on all four sides, but P&G decided to put a meaningless design in the circles at the top of each tower, and then deny they were originally designed for the logo. The architect for the buildings, however, admitted that this disclaimer was untrue.
