‘Than’ is used after a comparative adjective, e.g. sweeter than. The phrase these people are looking for is ‘different from‘ or even ‘different to’. There's no such thing as ‘different than.’

And I see your point about OI being more obvious, but you just need to take one look at the OWI logo to see that it's dominated by the W to make it spectacularly obvious.
