No Logo Indiana University and "Indoctrinate U."

[RKV]

Leftist academic thugs use your tax dollars to suppress an independent film-makers expose on "higher education."

"Fed up with liberal teachers who go off on political rants instead of sticking to the subjects they're paid to teach? Check out The Right Brothers' latest tune: "Shut Up and Teach." You can listen to a preview of the song below, and buy it (for .99!) here."

Thanks for posting - here's Indiana's logo. Ya think they're the same? Nope.

[CholeraJoe]

Looks pretty similar to me.

[robomatik]

oops! this link works.

I like how the opening shot is of the Rotunda and The Lawn here at U.Va.

[PetroniusMaximus]

The logos are(were) very similar. Not that I support the edu-facists.

[RKV]

Now I am slightly color blind, but red is different than green, isn’t it? That’s what they tell me.

[Paleo Conservative]

Now I am slightly color blind, but red is different than green, isn’t it? That’s what they tell me.

Different font too.

[RKV]

One has a circle (actually several) around it. One does not.

[rabscuttle385]

Err...opening shot of the trailer.

[CholeraJoe]

Try changing the color on Microsoft or Apple’s logo and using it as you own and see how long before the trademark infringement claims start arriving.

Evan should tell IU FU.

I didn’t know that Indiana had the monopoly on the letters “I” and “U”.

I didn’t know that Indiana had the monopoly on the letters “I” and “U”.

No no but their Duke like faculty claim that nobody had ever arranged them as a candelabra before...

[Antoninus]

We got lots of e-mails from people wondering what was happening, wondering whether some school was trying to shut us down because of the content of our film.

Gee, ya think?

[Old Sarge]

I didn’t know that Indiana had the monopoly on the letters “I” and “U”.

I can just see it now:

"Sesame Street has been brought to you by the letters, 'I' and 'U' -"

"Excuse me, Big Bird, but I represent the offices of Bilkem, Milkem, and Runn, who are on retainer from Indiana University, and my clients own the rights to the letters 'I' and 'U', hereafter referred to as Exhibits A and B..."

"But, but, Mr. Attorney, we're not talking about 'A' and 'B' today, we're talking about 'I' and 'U'!"

"So am I, and so does this cease-and-desist order..."

[OSHA]

Looks to me like Satan may have a claim against IU.

Add a scene where you burn an American flag. The Faculty Senate will vote to award you an Honorary Degree and give the commencement speech at Indiana University.
