The Olympic Rings are Gone for Local Taxi Company

No more rings. Olympic for Hire removes the Olympics’ logo from its cars

This is a small story (though broadcast here).

A local taxi company that stepped in it. They used the name “Olympic,” along with the Olympic Rings, to promote their service.

That’s not allowed by federal law. Particularly during the Olympic Games.

But the company has taken note, and removed the Olympic Rings from its cars.

That should be the end of it.

Hopefully it will be.
