I don't know why, the new logo just isn't sitting well with me. I'm going to go stock up on the old logo plastic bags in my own little attempt to refuse to accept the change.

yeah I'm not really feelin it either

Agreed. They tried make a loge that says, "Our company is good and clean. We don't use Asian slave labor." But instead, they came up with, "our company is gaudy and uninteresting." That shit looks like candy corn.

Are hyphens just too much for people anymore?

HOLY CRAP

I went in the Brier Creek store two nights ago and they were doing a HUGE renovation. They are painting the inside of the store all different colors and all kinds of other crazy shit.

All I wanted was a bulletin board but they had moved all of the office supply shelves in the corner and packed against each other.

i'd think target would have to outdo walmart in sales before walmart tries to get back any demographic

7/19/2008 12:08:29 PM

I think the point was that Target has out sold Wal-Mart in certain demographics.

7/19/2008 12:11:21 PM

lol yeah...the rich yuppie group

7/19/2008 12:12:03 PM

i'm sure this is more of a reaction to perception

walmart is currently viewed as straight dirty

both physically in the store and in their economic/labor practices

it's like when bp changed their logo to green

The new one they opened up in Elkin, NC, is the largest I have ever seen. It looks like a shopping mall on the outside.

7/19/2008 2:00:44 PM

^ one in Winston on 150 goin down to near Arcadia is the same way.


And they can change the logo all they want, I will still only go there to buy Transformers.
