NTL paper will be ordered but the old stuff will no doubt still be used until it's all gone, so no cost there.

Anything that is already physically branded (vans, offices?) isn't being changed, so no cost there.

Where is this big cost?

So the team that came up with the new motto did it for free, did they? And the graphics team who have designed how it actually looks are not paid? As are the web designers etc. etc. I think not. Therefore it costs money.

If you go to the BT website you will see that they have BT:Wholesale etc.etc.

The LOGO (for the hard of understanding) is not changing. Therefore they are not rebranding.

So NTL do not use a specific typeface for the "home" bit? They do, so it is definitely part of the logo. If a company (notice I say company) used a logo with the :home added in exactly the same way as NTL use it using their typeface, I think it would hit the courts. Which ever way you want to dress it, this is another useless PR stunt.

I imagine a lot less than Barclay is getting paid in consultation fees or whatever it is he's spnging these days.

It could of just been a decision of one of the managers y'know. We don't know whether it was an outside group or not!

I agree with you that it is probably not NTL's biggest expenditure, but it just seems a total waste of money anyway. Better spent on adding decent spam filters to the email servers, or something else useful IMHO.

I wish i was paid 6000 a day.

Does anyone know what he *actually* does, or is this just another of these over inflated jobs where he plays golf all day?
