jan1van1hooten Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) the logos for "Leo" beer differ. the real one has a leopard's head below the name "LEO" But the name is clearly visible. in the other one, the leopard's head is moved up, so that it hides the lower part of the "E" Thus the name is really 'LFO" In America, this would be called trademark or copyright infringement, or both.

Crossy Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 a fake can only be an improvement on the real one. +1, Indeed, images would be useful. Are you sure it's a fake rather than just a differently labelled batch, where is it on sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinasia Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I am not seeing a fake. I seem to be seeing a bottle and a can. Different logos used due to space availability? Anyways I am sure that the owners of the trademark for Leo (Singha) would be all over it if there were in fact fakes going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Clearly the OP had way too much to drink of either variety when making the post... "Looks like an F"... It's actually quite funny, a sort of mild paranoia that's on display... Oohooh... "Fake Leo"... Edited November 19, 2010 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I never really worked out why the brand 'Leo' has a leopard anyway, surely Leo is a lion 'cos the Thais can't say 'pard' properly.... so they just used the first three letters.

zaphodbeeblebrox Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Fake would be counterfeit. Manufacturers change their labels all the time, and sometimes even have imperfect labels (printing errors, etc.). As a lawyer, I worked on a case involving 60,000 cases of counterfeit Heineken that was being distributed in Hawaii. The Heineken had been manufactured by a counterfeiter in the Philippines. In the end, I had to witness the destruction of the beer at a garbage dump. Quite a smell when all those beer bottles were run over by tractors.

F4UCorsair Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I agree, both read LEO, not one LFO. The OP has definitely been on the slops if he sees differently, but having said that, the two labels are vastly different in other ways.. I also agree with the comment that a fake LEO, any fake, could only be an improvement the real LEO. That is a cr*p drop!! I recall sitting on the verandah of my room at P Guest House in Sangklaburi a couple of years back and leaving a full bottle of LEO after taking one sip. it was that bad Edited November 9, 2011 by F4UCorsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Depends on your definition of good.......... Good beer in America - is it Canadian? Most Canadian beer is garbage too. Aside from the newer West Coast and Maritime breweries, it's mostly tasteless fizz that only tastes good when compared to the worst of the American beers.
