DPR: New logo

Hey Richard, not a bad visual association though.. ;)
At first glance, I though that was a Leica logo, similar eh?
You're right, they look indeed very similar.

Coincidentally there is Leica's Live Webcast today, where they will unveil new Leica stuff... ;)

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

It looks like a cross between a Leica logo and a soda logo. It is also hard to read.

New tagline as well...

Welcome to coca-leica...the place to get high on caffeine and talk cameras

Hey.. a news forum. Never knew it existed.

Seems if "just a joke" as they say...
they wouldn't all be in there feeling the need to explain.

Slow news day I guess....

Thanks for pointing that out buddy.
There is a big thread on this in the "News Discussion" forum, with 4 DPR
people posting:

I can't recall so many DPR staff participating in the same thread before, so this
logo thing must be really important ;-)

Well, how about that, the old DPR logo is back...

So, how much did Leica pay DPR for a few hours Leica ...erm... "new" DPR logo? ;)

A good thing for DPR that we all have a well focused and correctly exposed sense of humor... :D

Hmm. Did our snide remarks actually get through?

On other news, I feel so much more assured now that the old logo is back.

Maybe DPR is doing what Google does, and changing their logo to match events, announcements, etc.?

About 95% of the people on this site missed the DPreview staff's attempt at humor.

It was a joke, and yes it corresponded with their news of the Leica releases, and their trip to the factory. Im sure they, and the Leica boys got a kick out of it, apparently at our expense ;-).
