Nivea logo looks like a fetus.

<p>More than a year ago I sent in a request asking Nivea to change there Logo on there bottles and containers as the logo or symbol display looks like a fetus. </p> <p>Every time I look at the logo I want to throw up as I was a police reservist and I get flash backs of this image in my head...<br />The product manager here in South Africa agreed with me and said they would send my request to the design department over seas to recommend a change.</p> <p>Nothing has happened....</p>

Dear Mr. Henwood

Thank you for your message via the Hello Peter web-site. Your complaint, received in March 2015 was indeed noted and the details were passed on to our R&D department in Hamburg, who formulate the product and the packaging for all our brands. At the time, following discussions, it was felt that the logo depicted the hydrating properties of the brand. All products containing our Hydra IQ ingredients, contain the logo of a "wave" which is not felt to be offensive. However, we do respect your views and we are really sorry that you find our logo offensive. This is not our intention at all.

We do appreciate your loyalty to the Nivea brand. We would be very happy to send you some Nivea Body moisturising products which do not contain this specific logo, with our compliments. We would be very happy to e-mail you to obtain your address details in private.

Thank you again for getting in touch with us.
