Is there anything more inspiring than inspiration? The answer is no; there is not.

My biggest grievance is the stress put upon moving to the new logo, all while Don Bossi is wearing the "old" logo, sitting in front of a large poster of the "old" logo.

How can we look as "One Brand" when the production of the video itself is still using both brands?

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

As a red-green color blind individual, I really dislike the color changes. At a distance, the old colors were easy to distinguish. Now, for me, FTC, FLL, and JrFLL kind of blend together if I don't look very closely.

Meh, since this is the new brand announcement I don't have a problem with the old logo being there. Takes a bit to get new stuff made.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

This made me recall an article I read in our local news recently.

A revamp like this would take any organization months. I think that is plenty of time to embroider an Oxford and print a poster.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Well I mean, I can get shirts and banners made and shipped in two days for my team and we're nobody, but it's whatever. As has been brought up earlier, energy spent questioning minutiae of FIRST's decisions should not outweigh analysis of larger, sweeping changes in the organization that actually affects teams. It's not like the updated logo is a lewd hand gesture or something.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

The new logo looks so cartoony. I'm glad I bought my FIRST appeal before the change!

Also, FTC is changing from Gold to Orange, interesting. Wonder if the banners will be changing colors for everyone?

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Making the site phone friendly is a good thing. I really don't pay much attention to colors and logos.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

FRC will almost certainly be getting a "jazzed up" blue banner that will be different from the old blue.

So reaction to that reveal is gonna be fun.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

"AND HERE IS THE NEW BABY BLUE BANNER!" :confused:

I still don't like the fact that FRC has banners for Chairmans, Winning, Rookie All star, And much more... While FTC only gets an Inspire banner. It would be nice to receive a banner when you WIN at WORLDS....

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

This is also a small change, but one I like. FIRST has altered the team info. In the awards/history section, there are no more division names for events, rather "The Championship Event", etc., which is less confusing for readers. Not only that, the layout is more readable and less data is missing (2001 and 2002 championships are now present for everyone). The new layout actually makes the FIRST webpage more useful than TBA for general awards and stuff.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Anybody see where the links are to TIMS, STIMS, and VIMS on the new website?

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

I found VIMS but still can't find TIMS or STIMS.
