Christ. The A is getting a bit lost in translation there....

Rebrand #2 then.... I'm sure there are still one or two of these kicking around.

I belive the second tweaked logo was to also symbolise the H of Hofer. Aldi's brand in Austria. As well as the A in Aldi.

Austria's Hofer is also to get it own treatment of rebranded logo.

The bands are thicker on the Hofer version, and my mental conditioning is such that no matter how hard I look at it I can only see an A, not an H.

Does it not remind anyone else of the ghastly 2007-era Walkers packaging?

The second A logo could clearly be read as A and H

Staples near me is now 'Office Outlet'. I imagine within a year it will be gone.

"Office Outlet" appears to have no web presence.

I don't dispute it COULD be, I'm just saying to me it ISN'T. Now run along.

Afraid not ... Intellectual Property Office, there is also a monochrome version with slightly different 'BT' text.

Also trade marks for 'BT BE THERE', 'Be There. BT' and 'BT. THE HEART OF SPORT'
The application for the colour version of that logo has been withdrawn, thank goodness. The monochrome version remains, and was officially registered last week.

Via this CR blog post about Logobook, a fancier version of Logopedia, I've discovered that a Brazilian bank use pretty much the same logo:
