Burritoville

I got lunch today from Burritoville in New York. The food's good, but it's not quite up to my California standards. I know Baja Fresh is popular with the UCLA crowd, but I'm partial to La Salsa.

Anyway, the Burritoville napkin has their logo on it (you can also see it on their site). The logo has "Entering BurritoVille" written over the skyline of Manhattan - but here's the problem: they still have the twin towers in their skyline.

It's been almost three years! Don't you think it's time for a new logo?!?!

I've just searched the whole internet(!!) And I can't find anyone else who's noticed this. Does anyone care? Is it OK to have a logo that's outdated by three years? Are people offended by the inclusion of the WTC buildings in the B-ville logo? What's the deal here?

  1. There's a lot of signage about that still has the twin towers on it. While it does pain me a bit to see their outline, I don't find it offensive at all. In fact, I'd be more offended if everyone were going out of their way to erase all images of the towers. I don't want to forget (well, ok, so maybe I -do- want to forget, but that's between me and my therapist....), and I find the images and outlines and silhouettes as more a tribute than anything else.

  2. Seeing that we are 3 years past the worst moment on American soil since the civil war, I feel it has now become a monument of our strength and endurance. Immediately following 9/11 people were very affraid of portraying the towers in anyway. Since we are 3 years past this, the towers should now be used as a tribute to those lost and a constant reminder of that horrific day. Americans, afterall, have very short memories. As far as Burritoville's inability to update there logo....I don't see why they couldn't afford it? It costs an arm and a leg to buy a burrito that is better suited as a dogs chew toy then lunch.
