Company dumps "Trump" name; a branding disaster, they claim
Quote:
The game --Eco Action Trumps-- has been produced by a UK-based environmental games company.
"It is a branding disaster for us, so we are dumping our brand name," said Paula Owen, of Eco Action Games.
The company said children now assumed the game was connected to the president-elect.
After the new president is inaugurated in January, Eco Action Trumps will be renamed as Eco Action Toppers.
"The awful irony of a positive, educational, eco-themed game bearing that man's name became just too much for us to bear - he simply had to go," said Dr Owen, cofounder of the maker of Eco Action Trumps.
"Working in schools since the election result, we have been struck by how much children know about Trump and what he stands for.
"It is becoming impossible to get our eco messages across using our card game any more as the kids now think it is about the president-elect."
