Logorama

    The video Logorama was very interesting. The logos were embedded in every landscape possible. I recognized some like Domino's pizza, malboro, IKEA, Epson, nintendo, Canada Natural, and Walt Disney. It was fun to find them in unexpected ways, and I was surprised at how much I knew.
   This short film made me realize how many logos there were, and how they affected my daily life and the world. I bought their products and used them. They use our money to make more money. They dominate the world's economy.
    In the film, the mascot of McDonald, Ronald McDonald was depicted as a terrorist. As Dr. Armstrong said, the usage of a big company in a negative way has caused protests by the company. The court turned down the company's attempt to prohibit the film, stating that the use of the mascot was a part of freedom of speech. However, I sort of understand why McDonald would want the film to be prohibited.  After watching the film, I didn't feel like eating at McDonalds.
