It’s hard for me to gauge what is driving our opinions on the new logo. I want to get a sense of the strongest reasons why we like it or dislike it. Try to ignore any comparison to the other entries and the whole issue of similariy to the WA logo when picking your opinion.
I’m very curious how the membership feels about the logo.
I’d encourage everyone to vote in this pole. As a Board member, I find value in this information.

I picked the best one in my opinion, as the real reason why I do not like the new logo as it is a copy of another state
I was looking for the option ….
__ Sticking finger down throat and gagging!
Can I vote too?
No, wait, I already did.
“Impartial” = “Abstain”
I didn’t like the new one enough to vote for it.
I didn’t dislike the new one to vote against it.
Making this a “Sticky” so it stays at the top of the forum.
I will be closely watching how this progresses. I like the choices presented.
If you are so opposed, why not get a few nominations and run for BOD? Frankly this whole thing is tiresome, dont we have better things to spend time on.
It’s not very time consuming to vote in this poll, so please do 🙂
I know it easy for someone to be a critic, but this poll seems to be measuring how contented people are with the new logo. It does not seem to be geared to finding out what they like or dislike about it. It seems a bit confusing as to what the goal is for this.
I chose “I’m impartial to the new logo. I just want the whole affair to be over with. I’m tired of it.” because I am tired of the subject. However, I’m not “Impartiial”. I don’t love the new logo, but I do like it, and it’s better that the old one.
I still think the logo EnergySaver posted is the best, but the voting is over, and it wasn’t there to be voted for at the time.
This one—> <<<—Right here
I would say it is an improvement over the old logo.
What ever happened to logo designs from the “Professional” company? Is it safe to assume they were not worthy to post and have the general public vote on them?
i think the new logo looks really professional. i have seen a lot of other logo’s for the other states and they don’t look as bold as this one. great job everyone!

I agree, the Energy Saver map of WI is better than the “cow pie” brown version. Why don’t I remember the brown state when we voted? Wasn’t it green? If we did not technically vote for the brown one either, is there anything wrong with modifying it slightly again to include the map version instead?

The brown state was part of the “improvements” that were outsourced.

You are right. I should have reworded the opening statement to say “pick the best option that fits the way you feel about our new logo”
I am trying to get a temperature reading here. I’d suggest that a new logo should be loved by a few, liked by many, disliked by a few and hated by none. That’s the barometer I’m used to for a re-branding a logo, primarily because of the attachments to an existing logo can be strong. If anyone close to the process with a vested interest in a company says they hate a new logo that a majority of others like, then we go back to figure out why. VERY rarely does anyone HATE a well designed logo, and if a logo elicits that strong a reaction from someone within the company it’s our job to determine if it’s just a prejudice to it or if there is seriously something wrong with a logo. We’re used to shooting for 75% approval of the vested party (or a vote among out designing piers) before presenting a final version.
Look at the results of the poll. 35% think it’s great or good. a middle 26% don’t care or are tired of it and could go either way. And 35% either dislike or hate the new logo. There is no bell curve here like there should be with the majority of the class weighing in at the center. Quite the opposite, it’s nearly an inverted bell curve. Now, you can interpret the results any way you want, but I suggest that this shows a poor overall grade for what was supposed to be a BOLD FRESH re-branding of the WGA. We should be shooting for 75% and be looking at 4-5 options that the majority like and have trouble choosing from.
