So today I received a very polite email from the *actual* Australian Government (The Dept of the Prime Minister, no less). Kid you not, here's an excerpt:

"It has been brought to our attention that The Juice Media has used an Australian Government logo, and a symbol similar to the logo on the website www.thejuicemedia.com. The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet has received complaints from members of the public raising concerns that the content on this website may be mistaken for Australian Government material ... It would be appreciated if you would ensure that The Juice Media productions do not use the Australian Government logo to avoid The Juice Media productions being mistaken for Australian Government material"

My immediate thought is: What does it say about our Governments if people can't distinguish satire from actual Government ads and policies?! 🤔🙄

But fair enough... on reflection I agree, we can't have people getting all confused by satire! So from now on we'll be using a new logo in our Honest Government Ads which, to avoid any doubt, features the motto: "Not The Real Logo". 

I wanted to share this with all you legends coz, apart from being bizarre and ridiculous, it also shows that the Government is aware of our Honest Government Ads. Good work team!Giordano et al

Sorry this has happened to you, just shows how impactful your work is. I know it can't be easy though please do keep it up - our sanity relies on it!

👍😂

Oh boy. Boy oh boy oh boy! Words (obviously) have failed me. That is both fabulous and terrifying in equal measure :-)

PS Love the new Not The Real Logo logo.

Funny story: we had already designed this new logo knowing sooner or later the Govt would complain... but we didn't know what to write as a motto in the scroll. The email we received made it easy to decide 😂

SOB

Truly, it was meant to be! Could this be ironic serendipity?!

Congrats guys! Logo is pretty amazing too.

I have pneumonia and now understand laugh 'til it hurts. Amazing job on the logo.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA This just shows that you are on the right path. I'll always support this channel! Keep going and dont be afraid, we got your back :) (Also maybe you should put a reptilian alien head at the top instead of a Grey lol, it would be more accurate)

thejuicemedia

Thanks for the encouragement, that's the kinda stuff that keeps me going :) And wow that's a great suggestion re the alien... I suppose I went with this one coz it's the most recognisable symbol for an alien. Have you got a link to a more reptilian-looking symbol?

Armesis

Not too sure, but this would be hilarious rendered in black and white maybe - <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/d6/4f/80d64f2c25860c419df4a01024e5b8c0.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/d6/4f/80d64f2c25860c419df4a01024e5b8c0.jpg</a> Just a small suggestion haha, end of the day its your content man. All the best and keep it up! Edit - In over 10 years as an airline pilot, ive seen too many ET craft and massive dimensional openings, when we do actually report them, we are threatened to rescind the report. There are definitely bigger things going on in this world. I will also gladly provide all my credentials upon request. Im retired now and really have nothing to lose.

Omg 😂😂

Hey Richard & Tatiana, I can't wait to get back to work either. I'm taking care of my family at the moment; sadly my dear grandmother passes away last week and I've come over to be with family. But I'll be back on deck soon :)

thejuicemedia

We should add that pic of Elizardbeth to the Australian logo

Ha ha that's hilarious. I think TV is rotting peoples' brains, satire is becoming a lost art. Too subtle for some!!

thejuicemedia

Maybe the satire's too subtle; but I think it might just be because reality is getting too insane!
