There are two kinds of logos...those with, and those without, zazz. And this logo's got zazz.

Apathy implies indifference... I am anything but indifferent. However I'm clearly in the minority so I won't labour the point. Looks like a done deal anyway.

That was why I wrote symapthy as well. There seems to be two schools to thought with many members here. Either don't change what is established and safe, or it does not matter anyway. It was a generalisation. |

EW! Why is there even the circle in the middle? Why does the color on the bottom of the P and A fade out when there's no gradient on the rest of them? Why even have the top and bottom of the letters white at all? What on earth are those extending lines for?
I can't say that I was ever a big fan of the old logo (gradients!), but it's much better than this one. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

What was wrong with the old one, not that I have any thing against the new one, and I think that should be our new slogan instead of, Your Ultimate Prog Rock Resource. -------------  |
Posted By: Henry Plainview
Date Posted: January 09 2010 at 23:31

The use of the word "your" has always bothered me. Wouldn't "the" be stronger? For example, I can easily imagine William Shatner saying "The Ultimate Prog Rock Resource", but if I insert your instead of the the whole fantastic dream crumbles and I am left with ashes. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I was thinking: US sports team, hockey or basketball new Dan Electro effects pedal Re the extended lines: that's for streamlining, don't you know anything about toasters from the early 60s. My attention span is terrible, I don't remember the old logo for comparison. ... P.S. I think the new one looks fine. |
