engadget.com — So last week Deutsche Telekom, owners of the global T-Mobile brand, sent Engadget a late birthday present: a hand-delivered letter from their German legal department requesting the prompt discontinuation of the use of the color magenta on Engadget Mobile. Yep, seriously.

So from your reasoning Intel should complain too for the use of blue color.

Magenta is the reason I never used T-Mobile. It's a glamorized rip-off of pink.Seriously, they're doing engadget a favor.

No, I meant "pretty" as in "I'm being ironic" 8)

I cant tell you how many times I've mistaken my banana for a phone and engadget as my carrier, especially since I have an iPhone, which isn't yellow. I wish I had AT&T but they're so evil and cost more.

actually, Deutsche Telekom didn't trademark "the" magenta, but its own T-Magenta: PANTONE Rhodamine Red (I don't know the number in other systems)

I remember the Orange v. easyMobile.com thing. Orange was suing easyMobile.com for being a mobile carrier with orange as its corporate color. But here's the thing: Orange's orange is PANTONE 151, and easyMobile.com (and all of easyGroup)'s is PANTONE Orange 021. easyMobile.com eventually closed.

Maybe they should rename themselves to "Douche-Telekom".
