I always pictured NERPS as one of those logos that changes color and style everytime someone 'revitalizes' it.
So in January, NERPS would be a drawn like a sports logo- in yellow, with flames. By March it would be a light green, and advertise it's eco-friendly corporate practices. By the end of summer, it would be gun-steel-blue, shiny and honed, ready to go.
You might have a brief purple phase, but the big marketing push would be for the red NERPS- coming back with attitude!
