Re: "New" FIRST logo, thoughts now...
So I've been holding off on this post till teams had time to adjust to the new logo.... The purported reason for the logo change wasn't simply to make a new better looking logo. The old logo was being misused and modified by teams and others all over the place. FIRST hadn't done anything to protect it, so it wasn't protectable now that FIRST was getting really big. So the new logo came with all those usage guidelines. No using the FIRST in the logo in a sentence, no removing the FIRST, no stretching the logo, minimum whitespace around the logo, no glows, etc. So I did a brief website survey. Something like 25% of the teams using the new logo are misusing it. Tons haven't even switched to the new logo, of course. FIRST itself violated the usage guidelines with their awards ceremony powerpoints and such.

So what was the point about all the new more protectable logo stuff?
