Sempra Wasting Money on New Logo

Aren’t we fortunate? My latest bill from Southern California Gas Co. contained a brochure that gleefully announced the fact that, “our advertising, signs, vehicles and uniforms” will transition to the new Sempra Energy Corp. corporate logo.

Of interest to me is to what extent the costs of this “re-logoing” (I’m certain, hidden) will find their way on to my monthly statement. Would our service suffer if no one knew that the out-of-state corporation was the new owner of the gas company?
