Siegfried Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The LEGO Company.And moved to the proper forum (did I beat Sinner to it?) You did... and it's The LEGO Group now anyway!
gravysam Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Thank you for your time Kim T and sinner. and sorry for posting in star wars!
KimT Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 You did... and it's The LEGO Group now anyway! But he asked "TLC", not "TLG"
DarthSion Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Any time you dont know something, its also handy to try here too. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1188
Siegfried Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 But he asked "TLC", not "TLG" Yeah, yeah, yeah I realise that... but does TLC even exist anymore?
DarthSion Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Is it just me, or do allot of hairs get split on this site.
Shadows Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I just collectively call the company, in all it's various international forms, LEGO, as in, "look at this new set from LEGO," or "why doesn't LEGO make a dark bley fedora?" Seriously... dark bley fedora. It's a natural, but I digress. As usual. I bet they'd hate just being called LEGO, given their insistence that we call them LEGO bricks or LEGO brand building toys or whatever. Does anybody even do that, and how quickly will this turn into a LEGO vs LEGOs debate? I'll tell you how quickly... it won't! Don't do it, people! It's LEGO. End of story. Is it just me, or do allot of hairs get split on this site. It's just you.
DarthSion Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Lol, ok sure, between TLC and TLG and the UCS thread, theres some hair splitting. Not to be rude, but if your worried about this becoming lego vs legos, perhaps close the thread as it has been answered.
Eilif Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah, alot of hairs get split, but that's pretty much the case all over the internet. LEGO, LEGOs, Lego bricks, whatever, I don't care but for the acronyms at hand, I think it's best to stick with: TLG: "The LEGO Group" when refering to company that Produces LEGO. It's what LEGO uses, and what the vast majority of AFOL's use also. TLC: "Tender Loving Care" Reffering to a manner of treating a fellow human being. Splitting hairs, probably, but it's worthwhile to standardize acronyms whenever possible so that everyone knows what everyone else is talking about.

Who's splitting hairs now? We like our threads open, we're an open community. It's nice to give people the opportunity to reply, they might have something meaningful to add like a funny anecdote about what TLG is called in their country or a lesson in the history of the company. Hopefully, they won't just use it as a chance to yet again gripe that a topic shouldn't be open. That gets so tiresome.
DarthSion Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ok so enlighten me, why does it say on the box lego, but they did or what ever use TLC and TLG. TLC Tboz Left eye, Chilli, an old chick hip hop band.
pr0visorak Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well this is solved, but some people still use TLC. Its a habit after a while
Shadows Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ok so enlighten me, why does it say on the box lego, but they did or what ever use TLC and TLG. That's simply the LEGO logo, which encompasses the entire production line of TLG and is made to be used in specific ways to brand items as part of their corporate distribution. Any time they refer to their corporate entity, they say "The LEGO Group", but they still use individual names for some of the divisions. Checking the side of a 2009 SW set, I see mention of LEGO Systems, Inc (USA), LEGO Canada, Inc, and LEGO Mexico S.A. de C.V. On the opposite side of the package, it states: "LEGO, the LEGO logo and the Minifigure are trademarks of the/sont des marques de commerce de/son marcas registradas de LEGO Group. ©2009 The LEGO Group. I'm too lazy to pull out a European package to give the equivalent information from it, but depending on location, it should give a more localized name for the company yet still ultimately refer to them as The LEGO Group. I'd be curious to know the history of that usage and at what stages it has changed. Again, I'm too lazy to go digging out a box from the 90's, 80's, 70's or 60's to find out, but at some point, I may add that information. TLC Tboz Left eye, Chilli, an old chick hip hop band. True enough.
DarthSion Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ah ok, yeah my says the lego group, i would be interested too, but its 2am Saturday.
Shoc Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 The Lego COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I think we already know that now... If you'd read the posts. :skull:
gravysam Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 can we possably keep on topic! TLG : the lego group TLC : ???
Shoc Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 can we possably keep on topic! TLG : the lego group TLC : ??? Well, it used to be TLC, The Lego Company, but around 2000 they changed it to TLG, The Lego Group. I still prefer to call it TLC, because that also stands for Tender Loving Care, which I think The Lego Group/Company gives us! :skull:
Siegfried Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 OK. The question has been answered several times, and there's little to discuss so........
