I have this online friend, let’s call him Michael, who lives in Romania.  (Thanks Al Gore, I love your internet.)

He makes his living as a graphic artist…and I have used him with great results.  So this morning I am watching the Morning News Shows where, no surprise, the news about BP’s oil spill dominates.  Don’t even get me started.

At that time, about three hours ago, Michael shoots me a message and asks if I have any work for him.  On a whim, I tell him if he can come up with a new BP logo, reflecting todays’ reality, that I would post it.  It is interesting to me to see how small the world is these days, and how someone in Romania can be so clued in.  Truth: I am not sure I could FIND Romania on a map.

Anyway, he sent me these two logos.  Blame him.  He can be reached at www.visualupgrade.com.
