Walls ice-cream logo

[James976]

Hello,

This is a bloody long shot but a while ago I was flicking through different website/blogs and I was reading something about Walls having to change there logo due to religious reasons I don't know if me reading this a while ago is not making this 100% correct but right now I need that article - was it here I read it? (hope so) orrrrr if not has anyone come across this too?

Ha!! Thanks.
Craig

ICE cream giant Wall's faced being frozen out of the lucrative Middle East market when its new logo was branded a religious insult to Moslems.
The trendy entwined heart resembles the word Allah in Arabic script when looked at upside down, it is claimed.
