Wow. You're absolutely right. That is frightening.

I think the new logo looks a lot like: Someone attempting to recreate the old one, having only seen the old one for a split second, and having NO graphical experience whatsoever.

I am frankly bewildered with the seriousness that FIRST has placed on this. I understand the importance of creating a new logo, but it is as if they expected us to hate it, but demand us to adapt regardless.

As someone who has been involved with FIRST since the conception of FLL, I have grow quite attached to the old logo. It means something to me. It brings back memories. Very good memories. This new logo probably wont upset people who haven't been involved as long as I, but you who have been in this as long as I know the feeling.

I just don't like it.
