Well well well let �s try !
LOGO is for trademarks
MACHY comes from the French verb MÂCHER (= to chew)
So if cows always chew when looking at the running trains PEOPLE, ADDICTED TO SHOPPING AND TRADEMARKS, ARE ALWAYS CHEWING WHEN SEEING THEIR FAVORITE SHOP WINDOWS. |

logomachy logo = louco (original Portuguese) means crazy machy = everything related to machines or high tech devices. So logomachy is someone who is "crazy" for machines or high tech devices. |
