But surely the logo was designed before the Williams tragedy (not saying it could not be changed now)--and I think the history of lynching over centuries of US history might trump concerns over an individual (talented, much beloved, and haunted as he clearly was) and his act. I don't think of Robin Williams when I see the logo--I think of the "Strange Fruit" as sung by Billie Holliday and others--and the original lyricist was a Jewish man, so the connection to the anti-semitism that fueled the Frank case is an interesting, if unintentional subtext.
