View Full Version : Coldplay stole our running man!
As you're well aware, the fuzzy man is a new icon of the MX era. Well, my band Circuit Chase came up with our own running man about a year ago! We named him Fernando, and he appears in our logo, available here: http://circuitchase.com/
Thought it was rather amusing that they'd come up with something after us - given the copyright claims of Viva.
Just thought I'd share that with you all :)

But...you're kidding right? It has to be a joke, surely.
Your band (forgive me) is unknown, your logo is a static drawing of a white stick man running...
If you weren't joking you'd be suggesting you invented drawings of running figures, which would be ridiculous.

Cant help thinking but the guy in the middle looks like Tom Chaplin from Keane.

Shameless band promotion... priceless.

Nice advertising effort. And I agree, it's Tom Chaplin!
Yeah, I am 100% joking. I knew it would come off as trying to plug my band, but hey, we've got bugger all to promote - as it says, the album's half done :P
Obviously, it's our logo because Fernando is "chasing" and we're Circuit Chase. Nothing original and exciting. Quite tacky really. I prefer fuzzy man.

i really hate this kind of advertisment for the band... i wouldn't mind in the instrument room because we have dedicated threads for that, but here in the MX forum, nah, not cool man, not cool

As I said, it's in no way advertising the band, as we have no music to advertise. I'm literally advertising our name and our logo.
I placed it here, as it's related to MX, so no need to talk down to me :/

Are you kidding me? That is nothing close to Coldplay's running/fuzzy man! That's just some retard stick man making a run for it. Fuzzy man walks and runs and well...he's better. Your band's also hit the shit since you're unknown. Sorry! :laugh3:
People seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick (man) here. I'm not trying to plug anything, I just found it funny and wanted to share it.

What next?! Coldplay stole my virginity? Actually that sounds like a good Jeremy Kyle episode. A social misfit throwing a chair at Chris Martin on tv - that would be worth watching.

If you were not wearing a Viva shirt, I'd think you were being serious :laugh3:
You probably didn't mean to promote anything but everyone will click on your website. Some will get it's a joke, some won't.
As a runner, I've seen your running stick so many times before and way before your band was created.

When I lost my virginity, Chris, Guy, Jonny and Will were the ones who found it.

Dont even let it bother you. They did the same to me when I posted some lyrics. Some people are hateful and like to rag on others to make themselves feel better.

They did that because you said you had new leaked Coldplay Lyrics, if you'd just say they were your own it would'nt matter at all.
Ergo...saying things like that only to promote your own stuff is just bad... thats the Point.
