You really need to quantify if you are going to critique. "A lot of people" is meaningless. 20%, 80%? Without some polling mechanism to capture numbers to use in an argument, you are being incredibly subjective. I can get opinions all over the board at Brand New, from great to terrible. How about a comparison between industry leader opinion, and general internet user opinion. Then you might build some interesting insights. 

This makes me cringe and fear: I've been asked to start the process of changing the logo of the organisation I work for. Ouch!

Corrected from earlier version which stated that the whole visual identity was suspended. The statement released only indicates that the monogram is being suspended.

Exactly.  Everyone's opinion doesn't matter!  This is so difficult people in my generation to understand.

Dessa just released a brand new single called "Quinine"!!! The track was produced by Paper Tiger with co-production by Lazerbeak and additional production from Dessa herself (shout out to that sweet marimba). A true family affair and ultimate collabo heat knocker in every sense. This is the first new bit of recorded music that Dessa has released since 2013's Parts of Speech album and hints at way more to come.

E-flat major: Master of the Universe

So if you’re not from California, or missed this bit of news, the University of California has a new logo. Or rather, had a new logo. To be more precise they had a new “visual identity system,” which is the kind of entirely accurate, but completely wonky description that gets met with sarcastic eye rolls from anyone who isn’t a designer, but there it is. But they don’t have a new logo. Because of a massive public backlash, the UC system actually suspended the monogram logo while we were reporting this story.

In this episode, we talk to the Creative Director of the UC Office of the President, Vanessa Correa, who led the team that created this short-lived brand identity and Christopher Simmons, principal of MINE, who waded into the UC logo fight with a brilliant blog post called “Why the UC Rebrand is Better Than You Think.”

This piece was reported by Cyrus Farivar, who also produced the 99% Invisible episodes about Bonn, Germany and Westvleteren beer.
