The new iHop logo (1 Viewer)

This is the old iHop logo.  It really bothered my oldest son, Calvin, as it looked like a frowny face.  How could a company not realize it's a frowny face?  They need to reverse it so it looks like a smiley face he would say.  On his behalf I e-mailed iHop.  I received the following reply.

Subject: Thank you for contacting IHOP. Here is a reply to your case XXXXXX

Dear Bob,

Thanks for your email. Please tell Calvin we sure appreciate his suggestion on reshaping the 'restaurant' appearance on all of our signs! These are the types of submissions that help our brand grow and improve. Thanks for your time and we hope you have a good weekend.

 

Sincerely,

Kyle B.

Case # XXXXXX

Recently I noticed their new logo.

:mellow:   :cry:

 
This is kind of like when one gets a script rejected and then oddly enough, a very similar movie comes out from the same studio a few years later. 

 
:thumbup:  Your son can take credit for iHOP changing their logo.

When/if he's old enough, just imagine all the chicks that will dig that.

 
Dear IHOP,

My son was so proud that helped helped your company avert disaster by heeding his advice. Now he's curious as to how he can be so helpful and receive not a pttance in return. Please help me counsel him as to the ways of the corporate business world. I do not want him to become completely jaded and hopeless in sixth grade.

His GF is a straight A student fluent in three languages.  He wouldn't date, or be allowed to date, girls that would be impressed by this.

 
You know the way you smell when you first come home from the beach?

Well, I want to make a cologne that captures the essence of that smell.

:goodposting:    I'm sure a fat check is on the way.

 
A local pancake house in my hometown offered free pancakes on a Sunday about twice a year and that was the only time my dad ever took us there.  The local newspaper took a picture of us and that was the only time I was in our local paper.  Not sure if I remember the exact wording of the photo caption, but it was something to the effect "Cheapskate kid eats 2 pancakes and complains that syrup container made his hands sticky"

 
Roger felt the same way on What's Happening when he wrote an episode for an action show, sent it in, and they aired it a few months later. After confronting the executives of the network, it turns out they get submissions all the time that could even more closely resemble what they actually went with, which the guy busted out similar scripts for Roger to see. The good news is that Roger ended up with a job from the executive at the end of the whole ordeal. So your son has that going for him, which is nice.

He's only 12.5 so has a ways to go before a full time job.  My biggest concern is he might go full on I hate Ricky Spanish on them with his hacking skillz and all.

 
1. New logo looks about how my face looks if I am ever in an IHOP.  Because I'm gonna be ####### wasted.

2. True story - at this years gift thing where everyone has a chance to steal other people's gifts at the office party game... the IHOP card was the LEAST favorite and most given up gift, eventually being left to the one person who could not make the party. Literally, 25 out of 25 people took any and every other gift, a lot of ####ty ones among them, in favor of the IHOP card (25 bucks I believe, as was our max).

In all seriousness, thanks guys.

It's kind of awesome that we have this and at the ripe old age of 9 he could see things so clear. So many of his teachers speak highly of him and tell us that he's going to make a big difference in the world one day. They don't need to tell me of course, I know it. It's hard right now, puberty, autism, and all. It's like putting a Corvette engine in a Citation. He has a hard time sleeping, brain never stops. I get it. He's a good kid with a big heart, love him. Of course now he's big kid that would rather punch me in the heart. Strong, little scared. I need pancakes delivered to the house non-stop to keep him complacent. #### you Lucas.
