\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Warren in Blue Springs Missouri, just outside of Kansas City. Great to have you on the program. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. It\u2019s a pleasure to be on the show. Been listening to you since about \u201990. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. <\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019ve really enjoyed your truth. What I want to ask you about is your logo. I joined Rush 24\/7<\/a> and I got a T-shirt and I\u2019m looking at that logo and I must have stared at that thing for 15 minutes. It turned the shirt upside down and it says the same thing. I go, “You know, this is genius. It\u2019s brief, concise, and to the point.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what? <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: I said, “This is just like Rush Limbaugh to come up with something like this.” But what I really wanted to know is how much input you had into that. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the logo… First, I should tell you, that a lot of people at first objected to it because they thought it looked too much like the Motel 8. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, man, I never thought that! (chuckles)<\/p>\n

RUSH: They said, “It looks like an eight.” They didn\u2019t see the “I” in the middle. They just saw the fattened eight in the EIB, and they said, “You can\u2019t do that! It looks like Motel 8!” I didn\u2019t originate it. We sent it out early, early on in late 1988 or the first part of 1989 to a bunch of graphic artists, and they submitted their ideas. I really can\u2019t claim any creative input.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, let me just say this to you, Rush —<\/p>\n

RUSH: All I did was choose the one that I wanted. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that shows a little genius there, too. Because this was genius. You know, on your fuselage or on the tail of your plane, you have EIB on it. God forbid anything ever happened to that plane, but if that thing\u2019s ever upside down, it says the same thing, buddy, and they\u2019ll know exactly who you are.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I\u2019m just going to tell you this: I figured that that was a stroke of genius, and I just wanted to know about that, because whoever did that for you and submitted that to you, I\u2019d kind of keep them in mind for the next project. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. Are you the one that did it? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Ha! No, sir.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I\u2019ve been in advertising and I just couldn\u2019t take my eyes off of it, and I thought, “That is just like Rush Limbaugh do something like that.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t thank you enough for this. I really… You are one of the first people to comment on the logo. I happen to be very proud of it. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you should be. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I tell you what I want to do. I want to send you an EIB engraved iPad. Since you love the logo, I want to send you an iPad that has it engraved on the back with my signature. In addition, I\u2019m going to throw in a couple of Two If By Tea tumblers <\/a>with Rush Revere on one side and the Revered Rush on the other, and the logo is on the Revered Rush side on the microphone boom just as it is here. (taps microphone)<\/p>\n

CALLER: Wow.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So if you hang on… Do you want an iPad or iPad mini? Which would you rather have. <\/p>\n

CALLER: The large one. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, cool. Hang on out there, Warren. If you will be home tomorrow, we\u2019ll send it FedEx Saturday delivery.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You take my breath away, son.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that. Well, I love sharing this stuff. So you hang on and we\u2019ll get your address. We\u2019ll send you a black iPad. I think that would be good. I\u2019m not sure we have any big white ones left in there. So I\u2019ll send you a black one and couple of tumblers. The tumblers won\u2019t be tomorrow, but the iPads will. We\u2019ll get the tumblers out as quickly as we can next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
