So i was bored at work waiting on a render, and noticed the Champagne of Blogs blurb at the top of the page. So i thought i'd fiddle with the logo and see what i could come up with. This was the result.

granted it constitutes unlawful use of copywrite protected intellectual property and posting the image is actionable by law. that said, it looks good. and i don’t think nico or OTS will sue you… put a hot chick on there though, and todd may have some papers for you and your attorney to review…

They might not...
But Miller Brewing Co. very well might as “Champagne of [bottled] Beers” is a federally- and internationally-licensed mark and has been since 1903…And, I’m willing to bet they’ve got good lawyers :P
That said, that is one sweet ass logo.

Couldn't
RBR get permission from Miller? After all, the context is meant to be complementary and in no way degrades the beer or the company.

probably not...
it’s called “mark dilution”…e.g., branding on other merchandise. If you’re Jurassic Park, post-1990s, you might permit subsidiary brands to take some cut of the cash, but if you’re Miller, a one trick pony, you’re not going to want to “water down” your mark (and, in Miller’s case, that pun intended…except for original High Life, which is damned tasty).

Parody
It’s clearly parody, which isn’t actionable as far as i know. (I know that everything really is actionable) Plus it was not done for any kind of profit.
I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

I know. I know. It is parody.
Plus the way Chairman Todd changes the subject header on the html, “champagne of…” won’t be around long it will be replaced with blueprints for his reeducation centers before it’s changed.

There is no way...
….that my plans for reeducation centers would fit on the header. This is exactly why you need it.
sweet...
Then I guess I need to inform him that I wear a 42R, and I prefer black, double-breasted.

When you are an Alabama fan you are expected to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because I want to.
Speaking of logos...

We all know how contests end here
With Ceasar Todd picking the winner, regardless of vote, so why even bother
