Can anyone think of many other logos which have bold helvetica italic wordmarks, for example Microsoft:
or sears:
basically ones that look dated because of their use of helv bold italic

I'm not trying to win an argument, just populate an illustration to show the look they are associated with, and how (in their case) it dates them very poorly because it's actually an old logotype.

As much as I hate the company Microsoft's logo isn't bad, only boring.
Sears and Verizon look like they were created by the legendary thousand monkeys.

It maybe old, but those logos are pretty iconic now.
