Yes, Conservative and Liberal Democrat Party would have been far better.

It's ok as a slogan which is how it'll be used. The problem they have is that Orange is a very strong brand name, T-Mobile isn't as strong in the UK but along with Orange is very well known internationally.

The only choice they have really is to pick a common name for both and do dual branding

There are areas in the country where we will open new Everything Everywhere stores: they could be Orange branded; they could be T-Mobile branded or they could be a combination of both..
Seems more like they will use some stores with the old Orange and T-Mobile brands.

Wasn't meaning the stores. I was meaning the internet service itself. I think it might just have had enough names already.

Well that's why the new name is designed to be ABSOLUTELY future proof. How can you have a more encompassing name than everything everywhere?

I come not with just one rebrand but two.
Looking at my local Comet it seems some of the boards are displaying a new logo.

Also walking past Waterstones, they have ditched their serif logo in favour of sans-serifImage

Not a good move for Waterstones, I think...

Sit that alongside the 2008 HMV Logo:

and it sort of looks alright.

As an aside, I think the 2008 HMV logo is perfect, and adapts really well for the seasons:

The Waterstones logo is just a bit too much of a jump in one step. Perhaps it will grow but it just looks out of place in my mind.
