From the meeting where the logo was āintroducedā, I had an overall positive impression of it. Very thoughtful and evocative and nicely symbolic. It is my opinion that much effort went into making it symbolic, which to the best of my knowledge is lacking in the current logo (or none of us understands, perhaps).
However.
I like the current logo for its history, its āofficialā feeling, and the air of āit means whatever it means to youā-ness, which is a hallmark of āgood artā, in my opinion.
Mostly I think a consensus should be reached, and made official (i.e. board approval). Right now it rather feels like some ārogue agentsā have decided on a new logo, have started printing it up and distributing it, and no one has any say about it. Thatās no beef for me personally, but I think it leads to splintered recognition and, at least in my case, confusion.
I am not interested in doing this myself for a variety of reasons, but should a simple āNew logoā vs. āold logoā poll be inserted here?
I personally am little torn, as I tend to be when ānew and better in some waysā replaces āold, comfortable, and recognizableā.
