Tenet calls out Christopher lan in an Instagram post
, despite striking similarities, we are t making a movie with Christopher lan. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe lan was inspired by our branding; regardless apparent negligence is frustrating to say least. Thank you to all people that have reached out in support of Tenet ( bike brand). When we became aware of this, our biggest fear was that many of our peers who haven’t heard of Tenet ( bike brand, shit this is going to get old quick) might think WE stole logo from lan, when in reality, we launched long before this movie was anunced. If you would like to share this post to help spre word, it would be greatly appreciated. I’m sure one day we’ll all look back on this and shake our hes in disbelief.
