A Dundee glasses shop has rebranded after a legal threat from punk legends the Sex Pistols. The shop formerly known as Spex Pistols for more than a decade will now be called Land O’Spex after the iconic band kicked up a fuss about the name and logo. The store had operated with the Spex Pistols name – under a trademark – on West Port since 2010. The shop’s logo also resembled that of the 1970s band. However, owner Richard Cook has now changed the name after receiving a cease and desist notice.
