Boy London is a british clothing brand that has come under much critique this past year when they revealed a logo on some of their clothes. People who saw the logo of an eagle perched on the O immediately compared it to Adolf Hitler's nazi eagle. In the article it touches on both sides. It has opinions from people opposed to the logo. Many of them being of jewish decent who either had family or new someone who survived the holocaust. The other side is the company itself trying to give it's reasons for using the eagle. They give the reason that the eagle is not the Nazi eagle, but the Roman eagle. Both of which are very similar and only a few things differ from them. It would be more believable that the company got it's inspiration from the Romans if they incorporated the eagle inside the O and not perched on top like the Nazi eagle. (Below are the three eagles Whatever the real inspiration was for this logo the company made bold move that ultimately failed due to the fact that it brought them more negative publicity than positive.
