Wild Guess...

Is it something to do with new slogans/stadium

1. ESPN is called "Worldwide leader in sports" now and not "total sports network"

2.

3. GEICO changed its slogan from "15 minutes could save you more" to something about the "caveman"

4. I think thats the new Jets Stadium they are going to move into

Hmmm... Is the theme football in general or the jets in specific?

Geico - Geico Sports nite?
Bloomerg / Jets stadium - Michael Bloomberg's announcement of new Jets Stadium
ESPN - NFL in general?

I have a far fetched guess. All logos are acronyms. GEICO - Government "something" insurance company. ESPN - Entertainment and Sports Presentation Network ... no clue about the other 2.

Spoid said...

Names as logos. More specifically a certain typeset, color print as logo, rather than have a logo as such. Maybe a newer marketing paradigm.

They all have some adversarial/comptetitive relationship with Murdoch?

The Answer said...

All of the organizations were founded (or co-founded)
by Rutgers Alumi.

ESPN : BILL RASMUSSEN .. MBA from RU

Bloomberg : Duncan MacMillan .. Rutgers College '66

GEICO : David Lloyd Kreeger, Class of 1929

NY Jets : Sonny Werblin, Class of 1932

I realized later that it might have been obvious to me being a Rutgers homer :) but not for others .. so credit to all those who tried .. I guess i was too late in adding the google bit ..
