Can’t believe no one ever noticed that the E in Dell is broken. With a little glue and a strip of duct tape I was able to create a mock up of the Dell logo with the fixed E. So far I have noticed every Dell system has this flaw. Please vote so Dell can fix this or release a logo patch.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for those that just can’t determine when sarcasm is present.

chewd 05/04/07	dino is a genius!
gibbsfree 05/04/07	wasn't there another company that had a crooked E in thier logo.....?
dino 05/04/07	Enron
benjesuit 05/04/07	reg?
jmxz 05/04/07	Note that Intel had problems with their E as well: . I've long suspected that Dell copied the broken e idea from Intel who's founder Noyce and Moore created the first broken e logo I can remember. They've fixed it to match the rest of their letters http://www.logoblog.org/intel-logo.php
jmxz 05/04/07	Ah, I see what benjseuit was referring to:http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/64815/Get_Rid_of_the_Enron_E
dino 05/04/07	I wonder what software patch Intel ran to fix their E. Would if work on my Dell system?
phubert 05/04/07	dino's 'fix' is dull, though... jmxz is pointing to a sample of an INTERESTING alternative
dino 05/04/07	Aparently my disclaimer was needed.
phubert 05/04/07	Yes, saw your disclaimer a bit late... but a spiffy new logo might, indeed, help Dell...
cmnetworx 05/04/07	lol, Nice..
reg 05/04/07	Sorry benjesuit - I was out hugging a tree... Here you go: D L L
reg 05/04/07	Feel free to copy the SOURCE of the DELL link above - and use it as your signature on EVERY WEB SITE YOU VISIT, until Dell gets rid of the Enron stigma and the S.E.C. investigation... I like the idea of S.C.O. Delrontari too, gets the whole Cursed, Doomed, Goin' down with the ship feel in one phrase, just about as good as a Crooked E (SCO group (cursed) Enron (doomed) Atari 2600 (I'm On Top Of The World -Oops - goin' down with the ship.) Dino: Nice GRAPHIC of the FIX dino! Good Job!
benjesuit 05/04/07	Reg, you really changed me. I went and hugged a Magnolia in bloom today. I kid you not.
rotthund 05/04/07	And lets not mentnion TeX.
reg 05/04/07	HA! H.P. Employees wanting Dell to Stay Associated with Enron, and praying Dell doesn't drink dry the river of vampire blood ink/toner money that feeds the H.P. empire.
rockettech 05/04/07	It's completely broken- this is the 1337 logo- \|}311
jmbslave 05/06/07	this is just stupid
reg 05/06/07	GREAT use of digital duct tape - by the way!
badblood 05/06/07	I've seen this discussion before.....deja http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/65323< are running out of ideas. I do like the graphics...
kevmeist 05/07/07	Love it, LOL
jmxz 05/07/07	badblood - and as mentioned earlier in these comments an even earlier post here: http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/64815/Get_Rid_of_the_Enron_E
bennish 05/09/07	LMAO - i love the stickytape!
jorge 05/18/07	They should turn the e upside down to be all hip and what not and attract attention to their logo.
skylarkguy 05/25/07	Maybe the whole logo should be upside down, or backwards. It would be like a laundromat.
rotthund 10/15/07	Rotate the "E" 180 degrees.
jorge 10/15/07	That wold make the E point down and thats got bad Fung Shui (sp?) written all over it.
phubert 10/17/07	Let's see... "E" is for Excellence! ahhh... "E" is for Energy Efficiency.... "E" is for ... I mean, if you're going to emphasize the "E", don't you have to DO something with it???? "E" is for "ENOUGH* already!" (*marketing nonsense)
petzymathuram 10/17/07	E ...as in "Elephant" As the tamil saying goes..."An elephant does not really realize it's strength" "Yanaiku than belen theriyathu" wherein the term elephant is compared to people who actually does not realize their true power and influence.
phubert 10/17/07	Fortunately, many who are strong exercize -restraint- though it is also wise to know -when- and how to use power or authority. We never stop learning. Thank you, Petzy, for your insights! :)
badblood 10/17/07	I met an elephant called phubert once...or did I dream it....
phubert 10/17/07	dunno, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't me... unless it was, perhaps, in a dream... tho, I DO admire elephants... especially the African ones... :)
petzymathuram 10/18/07	Oh My God...so all of you over here are tough Republican Elephants? .....very true...none of you have realized your power in this world....;) Now I have realized that all of you are influential...."I need a job in Dell wherein I can access all the departments" . Ga Ga and Paul...better keep up your promise plzz...;)
