Back in the late eighties, my dad wanted to own his own business and purchased a local (to West Texas) company called: Cobra Company.
He decided to keep the name but wanted a new logo because the original one was pretty bad. As luck would have it, his son (me) was a pretty big G.I.Joe fan and had a suggestion: use the Cobra logo. And he did. I'm glad this was in the pre-internet days. I wonder if he would have gotten a call from Hasbro nowadays. He's since sold the company and I don't know if they use the logo, but we used to have all kinds of office supplies with the Cobra logo on it. Sadly, the only thing I can find anymore is from an envelope. -c

What did the company do?
Manage Any Robotics Software? Machine Automobile Reclining Seats? Terrorism? Kill G.I.Joes? Did "Dad" have a friend named James McCullen? Was the city in Texas called "Springfield"? Is your name Billy ? Last edited by Indiana Joe; 08-28-2015 at 05:19 PM.. |

Sadly, nothing so nefarious. It was a powder coating company. Mostly working with oil companies.
... OK, maybe a little nefarious. But my dad didn't like it when I called him Commander.
