Actually, it caused the suits on mahogany row to issue an all points bulletin to all employees stating something like lightning will strike you dead and you will be forthwith fired if anyone is caught "enhancing" the logo. I had a copy of that memo years ago but am sure it is long gone on old discarded floppy discs to which it was copied. It was a classic, particularly if you had experience in corporate exec levels!! There was also an infamous WP timetable or CZ brochure featuring a photo of a diner waiter with what appeared to be a rather large salami which made history-----am sure that then PR WP person Art Lloyd purposely leaked the item to Herb Caen and as soon as it hit the streets, all copies of the brochures vanished!! I also have a copy of that in my copious files but, sigh, don't know where to start to find it. :-)
