"Their nice green logo doesn't really seem to fit them too well, so we're running a competition to find a logo that we can use to rebrand BP," says Greenpeace UK. It seems a shame they're capping their competition with a June 28th deadline, when the actual oil well is not due to be capped until late August. Perhaps the competition will be extended.
In the meantime, they're already approaching 700 entries, all of which can be seen on their Flickr page. Below are a few of our favorites:
To enter or just learn more about the competition--which was actually sparked by BP's involvement with Canadian tar sands but has snowballed following the Gulf disaster--click here.

DIdn't Obama, who was the biggest recipient of BP campaign money, give BP a 'safety' award not too long ago?
There are SO many more factors than simply blaming BP for this whole thing! You people just love to point fingers.
Any pressure, be it political, economic or social, to make sure the company take urgent and longstanding action is a good thing.
Not sure which came first, but here's another BP logo comp, http://www.logomyway.com/contestView.php?contestId=1746 Very funny stuff
BP is not the victim here. It is the right of every citizen to expect and receive transparency when an environmental breach occurs. Along with it's history of neglecting what it is responsible for, BP withholds, deceives and callously shows little interest in adequately providing for the clean-up. A lot of staging and talk, but the follow through is truly pathetic. More emphasis instead on Tony Hayward's softly focused image while he feigns empathy. Only days before he was downplaying the devastation as poison continued to spew into the Gulf..."wanting his life back "after eleven died working for his company.
This is not about pointing fingers this is about taking responsibility and banning these kind of profit driven endeavors. There are plenty of green alternatives for oil. Our governments should have been investing in and developing the alternatives for decades now but have not because of $$$ and lobbyists who share the wealth with a few who are elected to represent the best interests of their constituents and their countries but who choose to disregard those responsibilities.
ever checked other companies' oil rigs for these "solutions"?
I think Green Peace should also focus their attentions to developing countries where the bulk of pollution by Multinational Oil Companies goes on unfettered, with little media attention. What is happening in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria for example is of great catastrophic implications. And it has been going on for years! Yet it doesn't even get mentioned in international press.
Who's you people...anyone but you?
The hyprocisy is incredible. The USA is the most polluting country on the planet and sends this pollution invisibly around the planet high up in the atmosphere. Conveniently it's out of sight so the resource grabbing and consuming nation just gets on with driving it's uneconomical vehicles and other energy consuming activities without concern for the damage that is doing to the whole planet and not just it's own back yard.
It's the demand for cheap energy that drives companies like BP to cut costs to compete to give you what you want.
Actually China is the most polluting country on the planet. Just sayin.
