The “Take the Challenge” contest posting is especially interesting, since the text doesn’t capitalize TECHNIC, and doesn’t feature a TM mark anywhere; yet (perhaps based on momentum?) the contest graphic still features the TECHNIC URL capitalized (TECHNIC.LEGO.com -- note this is NOT a graphic logo issue, it’s done in text that features lowercase for the ‘.com’).

Since I have so many TECHNIC heavy hitters in this thread, does anyone know when this change occurred, and why?
