Back in the day I worked at Sherwin-Williams. Although I was familiar with the brand I had never recalled paying much attention to the logo. I remember after seeing it for the first time I was slightly appalled. The term "Cover the Earth" and accompanying image of paint being poured over the world was disturbing and this was years before the "green" movement took hold and at a time when environmentalists were on the fringe.
