AFTER KCL finally announced its £300k rebrand to King’s London — just 14 hours after Roar published its new logo plans – social media got a bit… passionate.
We’ve picked a few of the best reactions.
1. Obligatory Mean Girls reference.
2. TUFKAKCL – tuff-cackle.
King’s College London soon to be known as “TUFKAKCL”, or “The university formely known as King’s College London” http://t.co/lINRS88lBt

3. Handing out AKs.
With KCL renaming itself to King’s London, does that mean that instead of the AKC, it’ll be giving out AKs?

4. What the font?
5. Kl kl.
If KCL changed it’s name to King’s London, the initials are KL. Like the word ‘cool’ in text language. WHAT KIND OF UNI USES TEXT LANGUAGE?!

6. I is the rebrand.
@kclsu Finally, King’s London not only sounds ridiculous but also makes no grammatical sense. Please consider that vital piece of info.

7. Truth.
8. The dramatist.
If @KingsCollegeLon change their name to King’s London I will genuinely consider quitting my degree, I wouldn’t be proud to go there

9. We couldn’t possibly comment…
@bluesravens Not to mention the fact that “King’s London” sounds more like a sleazy club than an established academic institution.

10. Win.
The only positive I can see in the King’s London rebrand is that Helvetica is marginally better than Comic Sans… http://t.co/Tu0Jo0hlqU

11. Consumerism.
‘We all know where this is going: King’s College London -> King’s London -> King’s -> Burger King.’ My fav @Roar_News comment.

12. These marketing types are getting younger and younger.
13. A+ for trolling.
14. Better get down to King’s LONDON Hospital.
