FIRST Brand Refresh
 

From the official FIRST Robotics Competition Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FIRSTRoboti...72664062798892

Besides for the logo change, they also did away with the acronym logos, they adjusted the colors of each program, changed the name of Jr. FLL to FIRST Lego League Jr., and changed usfirst.org to firstinspires.org

New Logo:


EDIT: Here's a list of all the changes:

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

I actually like the old font better. Also, not a fan of the new website name.

However, I do like the subtle changes in the logo design and the switch to a consistent logo across all of the areas.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

I see the new website launched, though the dashboard still refers to Junior FIRST Lego League (not FIRST Lego League Jr.), and the YouTube channel still has the old logo. Do we know when they will release all the new branding and graphics on the website?

Edit: Also, the Programs>FIRST [program] menu now brings up a submenu for About, For Teams, Game & Season, etc. so you don't to click so much as earlier with the beta site.

Edit2: About>Press Room>Brand Standards. And it looks like they've announced the next FLL game name: Animal Allies.

Small changes. I like the FLL Jr. change. I always wondered about usfirst.org. It seemed odd for a global organization.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Well, they are (still?) officially incorporated as The United States Foundation for the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (USFIRST).

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

For Inspiration & Recognition of Science and Technology Inspires dot org.

Add this one to the list of RAS Syndromes like MSDS Sheets, LED Lights, PIN Number, RAGE Event, ATM Machine, AC Current, LCD Display, HIV Virus, LAN Network, RF Frequency, and BBS Systems.

Team webdevs everywhere cry out in agony for all of the content they have to update.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

This site is still a work in progress. As you navigate through it you will find links that are not working yet, such as the quick link to VIMS.
Great start though.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Well, their new url is blocked at my work. :rolleyes:

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

Blog link and Event links still say "Coming soon"

Dashboard still isn't linked to your TIMS, STIMS, VIMS, etc.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

How about the old URL? It still works for now.

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

The old url redirects to the new one. All old links that used usfirst.org no longer work and just send you to the homepage...

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
 

you can still go to the archive site under the community pulldown and navigate that way.

I clicked on chat and got an immediate response. Awesome!!:] :] :]

You can, but in a world of searching Google and using a direct link I think kids will struggle. I can find the information I want just fine, I just don't want to go looking for it when it used to be a two second search and click. I've become spoiled in the ways that Google has made life easy...
