Optus changed their carrier ident today?

Hey guys!

Noticed today, my custom "Yes Optus" logo has been replaced with simply "Optus" in text.

Got home and it changed back until now!

Anyone else seen their phones stop saying yes optus and change to simply optus?

Note that they can change the carrier identity on each tower. It wasn't too long ago (from memory) that all of the towers around the MCG were changed to either reflect the grand final teams or something to do with the Commonwealth Games.

Bah!

I don't care what it says, I've hacked my own springboard anyway.

Just curious as to if anyone else noticed it, Although i'm surprised optus didn't change this a long time ago.
