Adventures in Branding 1

Whatever happened to words (emphasis added)?

BB&T and SunTrust Banks on Wednesday unveiled the name of the massive bank they plan to create and base in Charlotte through a proposed merger announced this year.

The new bank is to be called Truist, Winston-Salem-based BB&T and Atlanta-based SunTrust said.

Why the hell should I trust a bank that can’t speak its native tongue?

The stupid. It burns.

Full Disclosure:

I use one of those banks, having moved my account from La Cosa Bankstra Wells Fargo several years ago. I have no complaints other than this attack of stupid.

    Damn. I hope they didn’t pay anyone to come up with that name.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
