You are not. I thought I had commented on that here, actually.

You probably did, but every week I see that logo on free promotional material on the checkout counter of my LCS and I think, "Oh, there's a new comic book publisher?"... every single time.
I read in the paper today that Heritage Auctions in Dallas is selling a lot of costumes from the Batman TV show (plus other items such as Kirk & Spock's uniforms, Fonzie's jacket, Jeannie's harem outfit, and Wonder Woman's costume). The headline read: "AYYY! POW! CLASSIC TV TREASURES FOR SALE." Will newspaper editors ever learn that that they're not being original or clever when they do that?
I've broken that habit in three newsroom copydesks. Really, all you have to do is point out how old a reference it is. But in this case they're not referring to comics, they're referring to the actual TV sow, so I'd allow it.

I know some people don't care for Adam West, but to refer to him as "the actual TV sow" is a bit much, don't you think?

I posted somewhere (maybe here, maybe on Facebook) that the IDW logo is graphic design malpractice.

Heh-heh-heh...
Only one reference to a TV sow in here, but this is some stuff I've been doing lately:
A small writing event
The Bruce Peninsula
Assorted other stuff, including a Punk market
A "TV Sow"? "Arnold Ziffel's Big Secret"
Local restaurant has hidden bookstore behind secret shelf.
