I agree with a lot of the topic replies in this thread. The new logo is worse than the older one, and it does look like a cartoon, and it does look like something meant for FLL. FIRST could have made a better logo if they really wanted a new one. The old one really looked more professional, and a lot more attractive.
I also feel that the standards are somewhat strict

, however, i do realize that they have to be to a certain extent. Also i think that they should have two separate logo's one thats animated for such things as websites, animations, videos, etc. and then another thats still for things like Shirts, Printouts, Banners, etc.
