VWestlifeMBI had the gall to disclaim the IBM logo as a registered trademark of IBM, but then just flip it around and use it as their own.

@Elizafox No clue. According to what I can find, MBI of Irvine, Cal. was only around in 1982-1983. After then they either changed their name or went out of business. There was another MBI at the same time -- Microcomputer Business Industries, based in Golden, Colorado, whose logo mimicked IBM's without being an exact copy of it.
