2 Logo controversy
The company received unwanted media publicity in the 1980s when a rumor spread that its corporate logo was a satanic symbol. The accusation is apparently based on a particular passage in the Bible, specifically Revelation 12:1, which states: "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars." Since P&G's logo consists of a man's face on a moon surrounded by 13 stars, some have claimed that the logo is a parody of the heavenly symbol alluded to in the aforementioned Biblical verse, and hence the logo is devilish. But the charge has been denied by company officials, and no evidence linking the company to the Church of Satan or any other occult organization has ever been presented. There is evidence, however, that P&G conspired with the FBI to conduct an illegal investigation of the Church of Ouzo (see discussion section).
