by the way, i remember last february, they filed a lawsuit against go network for their logo, which looks remarkably similar. what became of that? i can't recall if that was settled or not.

As far as I know, nothing has happened (no press releases put out by Goto anyway).

I hate to say it but I see this one going to court because Go has spent way too much money on the logo. Goto has a decent case because Goto was around first, Go is a very similar name, and to have picked a similar name and a similar logo? But on the flip side, Disney has deeper pockets.

But I will say that people who have never heard of "goto" are very confused when I start talking about "goto," and they want to correct me because they've all heard on tv "ABC, part of the go network" and assume I'm talking about go.
