YG bows down to Hugh Hefner, New GTOP album cover coming your way!

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

Hello. This is YG Entertainment.

Thank you for giving so much love to the GD&TOP 1st Album that was released last year on December 24th.

The GD&TOP bunny logo was mentioned many times in GD&TOP’s interviews because the logo was designed as an image of a bunny’s ears combined with the victory “V” hand sign, based on the Playboy Enterprises International Inc.’s bunny logo.

However, the company did not receive permission regarding the original bunny logo trademark rights that belongs to Playboy, so it has no association with Playboy’s work.

The company has considered the confusion from the issue and has received a polite request from Playboy Inc., and accordingly, we have decided to no longer use GD&TOP’s bunny logo.

Sales of the GD&TOP album that used the bunny logo will be halted, and the release of a NEW COVER Ver. with a new logo is planned for July.

We ask for everyone’s interest and support for the newly designed GD&TOP 1st Album New COVER Ver. (same content as the existing version) to be released in July.

Thank you!!

like a wedding invite

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

that's what I thought too..
GD&TOP...heart shape? XD

[vivafreedom.livejournal.com]

I don't know how they got away with that for so long. It was a fug logo as well. I like the new one.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

mte, I thought it'd be shot down even before the CD came out.

[meterstandkaart.livejournal.com]

I like this logo way more. If they released those BEATS with this logo I'd buy them in an instant.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

i can't believe they went there in the first place without permission

[luvey.livejournal.com]

this.

[frostedpopcorn.livejournal.com]

Well, as much as I liked the old logo, I am well pleased that they are re-issuing with the new one (which I really dig) BECAUSE THIS MEANS IT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BUY AGAIN, YESSSSSSSSSS.

_{YesAsia cancelled my order two weeks ago, saying it was out of stock. D:}

[rubberseoul.livejournal.com]

lol, "polite request".

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Read at first that "New GTOP album coming your way!" and got all excited. :-(

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was just about to get some major flailing on.

[byronsbitch.livejournal.com]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I ALMOST FELL OFF MY SEAT HYPERVENTILATING AND SHIT THINKING AN ACTUAL NEW ALBUM WAS GOING TO HAPPEN

SO DISAPPOINT

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

IKR? I FEEL SO WRONGED!!!

[0ddie13.livejournal.com]

Good, now I can finally buy it!
I really didn't like the other one.

[vitaminbaby.livejournal.com]

I like this one better!

[thewarpedmelody.livejournal.com]

I actually read it as GDTOP new album coming... T.T

[xxqod.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna stare at this for the rest of the day *___*

[vulgarchic.livejournal.com]

So buying this version as well, love love love the new design!

[heartflood.livejournal.com]

Sooooo..... Hef asked them cease and desist with the Playboy logo and then they release a video ripping off the Warner Brothers logo, the Obama HOPE poster, and the CNN logo?

NOT FUCKING COOL.

My husband works for WB and they're not even nice to HIM. I really hope they don't catch wind of this.

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

LOL. I was thinking exactly the same. Though about Obama's poster, it has been used multiple times already, so it shouldn't be a problem, I guess? *knows nothing about this kind of thing* But the other two, LOL.

[like-a-melodie.livejournal.com]

much better now since hugh hefner is a horny old man anyway

[cher-ex3.livejournal.com]

Correction:

Hef is a heartbroken horny old man.

[regnsky.livejournal.com]

I like this one better! ^^

[ayumikoshiro.livejournal.com]

GTOP getting married eh. And Papa YG it's not fair to release a new cover and no new songs, I know Diplo's been to your place you can at least give us 1 new track... just one hidden track or something we won't tell anybody.

[t-domination.livejournal.com]

f u i thought there was going to be a NEW album ;__;

[nene718.livejournal.com]

Took long enough.

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

disappointed with the rest , thought it was a new album...
this logo is good too ^^

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

I READ "New GTOP album cover coming your way" AND THOUGHT MY PRAYERS HAD BEEN ANSWERED.

I like the new design though.

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

its okay...I had 2nd thoughts about the title too (if i'm gonna put "cover" or not...)
but since i hate misleading titles myself, i've decided to make it clear XD

Sadly, not clear enough OTL

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

I'm glad bc it's the only reason I didn't buy merch from fom the first one

[chewmi.livejournal.com]

me too :)
