Investigation Opened Into Fifth Brewery Likeness of the Year; Logo Compared to Film
By B.F. Patterson · Investigations ·
VANCOUVER — This desk has opened an investigation into a fifth Clark County brewery this year after its new logo was found to depict a large, hazy figure walking mid-stride across a treeline, following a review request from counsel representing the subject.
The label was compared frame by frame against the 1967 footage, a procedure this desk has now performed five times since January using materials it keeps in a dedicated drawer. The gait matches. The gait always matches.
The brewery’s owner maintains the figure is “a generic forest presence,” a defense this paper notes is now traditional. “It could be anyone,” she said, standing beneath a nine-foot mural of it.
Clark County has too many breweries to count, and at least three are legally his face. Counsel declined to speculate on whether the count would reach four, citing the pending review. A June letter to the fourth brewery, maker of an IPA called Blurry Guy, remains unanswered.
The investigation is inconclusive, pending clearer footage.
