Coldplay stole our running man!

mrkjhnwht · 21-08-2011, 10:47 PM

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

Oh and I'm the one in the photo with the Viva La Vida t-shirt, to add even more fuel to this!

Coldplero · 21-08-2011, 11:04 PM

ya, right...

Mimixxx · 21-08-2011, 11:04 PM

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.

Mimixxx · 21-08-2011, 11:07 PM

They stole Keane's frontman!!

Poor Fernando... I wonder how does his ego feels now

Shameless band promotion... priceless.

For everything else there's mastercard.

Nice advertising effort. And I agree, it's Tom Chaplin!

mrkjhnwht · 21-08-2011, 11:14 PM

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

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.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
