Come on...first time costume designer flaws for sure. | I'll be honest, I didn't even notice the logo until someone mentioned it. Then I had to even zoom in to see it. It doesn't make the pants look bad because it isn't even noticeable. | |

i hope the camo is un-noticable, as copywright said, cause if it isn't, the cheese factor will be up 10 X's... | |

The problems start whee the more iconic aspects of the characters are lost.
If "The Commander" wears no mirror-mask OR hood, it's just not CC to me, regardless of how good the acting may be.

that's just my thinking that the studios will want the actors they're paying for to be seen.
i could be totally wrong. | |

no doubt. i still think they'll be more w/o than with in the third installment.
i think it might have been better to do a 'godfather' trilogy model with GI Joe.
1st movie, regular GI Joe vs Cobra
2nd movie, same, but go back, showing how it started.
3rd movie, finale.
or as snake eyes would say, cause he can talk now, fini'. | |

I think the logo being hidden in camouflage is an un-intentional metaphor for the fact that the G.I.JOE that we have all known and loved for 25 yrs. is being covered up and hidden by this movie.
Blegh!
