Join the Campaign to Set Magenta Free
on Apr 2
Yesterday, I blogged about T-Mobile’s poor decision to ask Engadget Mobile to remove all traces of magenta from its branding. As Stan from Mashable says, “how, exactly, did the T’s lawyers and PR folks think Engadget will react? Humbly remove all traces of magenta from their site, issuing a big ole apology? If they did, they were wrong.”
I bow down to Engadget’s creative response. Note the header changes:
Here at Taptu, you might have noticed we’re very fond of the colour pink. We haven’t received a letter from T-Mobile, but we’ll be happy to tell them where to go if we ever do!
Join Engadget’s solidarity campaign by going pink for the day, like GearBits, Josiah Miller and Joshua Topolsky.

Some large companies think that they have more power than they actually do. How can you tell someone else not to use a certain colour? Daft.
