I'm not sure if there has already been a post about this, but someone apparently made a flyer with the old rainbow Giant Bombcast backdrop. Behold:

 Some college sports flyer or something

I gotta admit, that's actually kinda awesome. I didn't know Giant Bomb was so into sports.  :P

This was brought up before with Pepsi I believe, a member of the staff commented that they don't own that background image either.

It's been brought up before. Apparently, it's licensed art and GB and the other firms all licensed the art.

It actually makes me sad to know that it was licensed art and not something the guys themselves came up with.   
 
Can we go back to saying it was Giant Bomb's idea in the first place so that I don't feel like they were unoriginal?

Also I must not pay much attention, seeing how I said the same thing as  RipTheVeins

Yes.  And while we're at it, we can pretend that the Red/green and purple/blue were switched to acknowledge Vinny and Jeff's colorblindness.

I like the idea that Pepsi loves the Bombcast so much they had to license the background.

Yes. This is obviously the truth. I'm 100% sure it went down this way, and this way only. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Looks like the time has come, men. It is time for war!
 
Wait, what? It's licensed? Aww... looks like we'll need to find another reason for war! Ideas?

This one is obviously the same though. They were both based on the same original image, but with permission.
