In an effort to seem more environmentally conscious and friendly, BP changed its company name to "Beyond Petroleum" from "British Petroleum." This change rings a tad hollow in light of the devastating oil spill in the Gulf that BP is responsible for, so Greenpeace UK is holding a competition to redesign BP's very green logo to something more appropriate.

Enter the contest here. A few of our favorite entries are below. See the rest on Flickr here

The reason BP failed to have a second drill rig standing by in the Gulf when the Deepwater Horizon was drilling is simple -- money. A drill rig costs about a half million dollars per day, according to oil industry officials.

I love how Greenpeace push the boundaries with their campaigns, its what really sets them apart.
Check out this article on their recent Airplot campaign - http://www.leapanywhere.com/blog/159-guest-blog-greenpeace which urged people to buy plots of land to stop a third runway being build at Heathrow!

Instead of spending time on coming up with new logos for BP, how about start some sort of fund to help purchase supplies for the people volunteering their time for the clean up.

I couldn't agree more. This is completely counter-productive.

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/06/01/cheney-bp-flack/

"Under threat of receivership and criminal investigation for its destruction of the Gulf of Mexico, foreign oil giant BP has hired a former top aide for Vice President Dick Cheney to be their new spokeswoman. Anne Womack-Kolton has been hired to be “head of U.S. media relations.” A rising star in the Bush-Cheney White House since the 2000 campaign, Womack-Kolton served as Cheney’s press secretary during the 2004 election before running public affairs in the Bush Department of Energy:"

This is probably a good hire for BP: It was press aides to Cheney that made us think that there was WMD in Iraq; outted Valerie Plame, and also pushed the ideas of private contractors for Iraq.
