Some also vented out regarding the agency's incompetence, as well as criticized the announcement's grammar and logo design.
Everything Attrakt does is cheap and unprofessional. Look the the logo, its not even aligned and has uneven size of letters. Look at the punctuation and grammar errors. This is not a competent company. https://t.co/3cfZaPxtMN pic.twitter.com/fEzRIK7vwq
