All in all, what I'm trying to say is that if we get too preoccupied with how things look, we're going to miss the whole point of being involved in robotics altogether.
We didn't fall in love with the logo guys, we fell in love with what the logo stood for. Sure, it has changed, but what it represented is something we all still love. Quibbling over something like which logo FIRST chooses to use is ultimately quite trivial. I hardly see how continued complaints about the logo coincide with the ideals of FIRST, particular gracious professionalism. On the playing field, when the ref calls your team on something that you feel was unfair, ultimately the gracious professional thing to do is accept the final ruling and not argue about it. The same principle applies here.
