MCI

I should have called this "brands go bad."

MCI is a major offender. To the errant shooting star to the all caps, I hate it. I do. Hate it.

I worked with this one about seven or eight ways, and you know what, it looks better without the letters/caps! I ditched the shooting star aspect and toned down the colors to a softer blue and yellow. Behold MCI, stripped down to the star that faded out too fast.

A little bit about MCI:
(From Wikipedia)

MCI, Inc. (d/b/a Verizon Business) was an American telecommunication corporation, currently a subsidiary of Verizon Communications, with its main office in Ashburn, Virginia. The corporation was formed originally as a result of the merger of WorldCom and MCI Communications corporations, and used the name MCI WorldCom, succeeded by WorldCom, before changing its name to the present version on April 12, 2003, as part of the corporation's ending of its bankruptcy status. The company traded on NASDAQ as WCOM (pre-bankruptcy) and MCIP (post-bankruptcy). The corporation was purchased by Verizon Communications with the deal finalizing on January 6, 2006,[1] and is now identified as that company's Verizon Enterprise Solutions division with the local residential divisions being integrated slowly into local Verizon subsidiaries.
