The Milk-Rareware Logo Conspiracy

Postby cfh » February 26th, 2008, 1:05 pm

I got this random brand of milk I've never heard of before. The milk itself had gone bad, but my purchase lead to an astounding discovery. Just take a look at the logo:

Looks familiar...

Coincidence? I think NOT. It's a conspiracy :o

See that cressent of white outlining the red circle? That connected to the "Rare" symbol makes an R (Stands for Robinson)
Rare logo:
__
ll \
__/
\
l \

Robinson logo:
I ____
l l l l l \
l l l l__/
ll l l \
l l l ll \

Case closed.

Good find, cfh.

The Rare logo is also very obviously a stylistic 'R', and the crescent shape doesn't mean anything. As far as I can see, they are entirely the same logo.

The so called 'crescent' is really a circle to encompass the obviously Rare-like logo.

I don't know how long Robinson have had this logo, but the company has existed for a fair while longer than Rareware. But seriously, Rare makes it look so much better. ;)

Rare makes it look better

That's because Robinson is an obscure little dairy company, and Rare is a hugely popular video game company.

Is this perhaps some indication that the Dairy industry is trying to cash in on the video game market under the alias of Rare?

Or perhaps it's the other way around, the Video game market is trying to get in on the Dairy industry!


Or not.

Maybe it's all an evil marketing scheme to get more gamers interested in milk...

Or maybe it's a simple joke I made that led all of you into a nonsense discussion of the Dairy and Video Game Industry each trying to win the other over. :P

And maybe we were joking too, and all of the above comments we made were sarcastic. Are you familiar with sarcasm?

Super-enormous bump, but I felt the need to share another Rare-esque corporate logo that I spotted in the wild...

Not as close a match as the Robinson Dairy logo, but still pretty similar.

That truck was tearing up the bitumen of our street, as you can probably tell... and I don't think they were happy about our friend's car being left on the roadside!

I have to say, I think some Kremlings were driving that day. Just look at how much destruction they caused! Great find Qyzbud! Great find indeed.
