WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: June 13, 2002 PwC Consulting changes its name to simply Monday -- "Many may find the name change to Monday odd, but the move is no laughing matter for PwC Consulting. The firm is striking out from under the shadow of accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers after years of toiling within a company more synonymous with ledgers and gray suits than catchy slogans."

Well, I'll just rename my consultancy to "Friday." Everybody loves Friday. TGIF! Posted by: Jack on June 14, 2002 12:22 AM
They could have saved a lot of money, kept PwC and just changed the expanded version:
I wonder if they'll go to court about "owning" the word Monday? I can hear it on CNN: I wonder if they'll have to reschedule any meetings from any other day of the week to mondays. Or if they plan on announcing Monday as part of the weekend from now on to avoid the confusion? We should ask Seinfeld what he thinks. My friend commented that it sounded like a Seinfeld episode. True. It's funny. And when they say that it's advantageous for advertising purposes do they think that every Monday everybody will be thinking of the company? hmm. That would be interesting to follow up on. But how many people think of the company Xerox, when they hear "Will you xerox this for me?" Even when they hear "where's the xerox machine?" I think it's more likely to backfire. Posted by: Berna on June 14, 2002 10:42 AM
