OT: Old Donut shops/ Donut Signage and buildings - Beyond Tiki

But the art (a donut baker, wearing a chef's hat, astride a rocket shooting thru the hole of a giant donut) is no longer on the top of the box, which they say they can no longer afford to have printed. I saw a stack of business cards with the artwork and asked for one. I told the manager I like old advertising art and would like to show it to some other people who might like to see it. He gave me one but commented, "I hope they're not going to steal our logo". So, in good faith, I won't post it. Now I've heard Coca-Cola & other huge companies pay good money to have their image appear on movie & video screens, but what does Coca-Cola know about publicity?
