Domino’s Responds Quickly to Fans’ Requests, Logo Redesign Sends Social Media into a Frenzy in Taiwan
Baseball is a national obsession in Taiwan, with fans using various traditions to wish for their team’s victory. During this year’s World Baseball Classic Qualifiers in Taipei, some fans noticed that the Domino’s logo displayed at the stadium wall, featured due to the brand’s sponsorship, resembled a dice showing 1 and 2, which they believed could have an unfavorable impact on the game’s momentum.
