    When Sealord unveiled its new logo in May this year, feedback wasn’t overly kind, with more than a few comments suggesting the company should instead focus on improving its sustainability credentials.

The organisation yesterday launched a massive outdoor subvertising campaign in Auckland to expose Sealord’s sale of tuna caught using destructive fishing methods. The campaign includes posters and banners that feature the new Sealord logo along with the words ‘Nice Logo. Bad Tuna’.
