There’s a stupid poll going around Facebook which I, on principle of not using stupid Facebook apps, refuse to participate in. It’s a question of whether you prefer the old University of Waterloo logo or the rumored new one:
Frankly, I don’t think the new logo is that bad. It’s dynamic and modern, which fits with Waterloo since they have no real history to draw upon anyways (unless you count bad 60s and 70s architecture). I can’t say it’s too much better than the old logo, but it’s not any worse.
All the votes I see on my news feed are against the new logo, but then I only know alumni who have a long history with the old one so that’s actually not surprising that they would vote for the old logo. In fact, it is pretty obvious since the new one is not a marked improvement. Here’s a fun game, what are some similes that can explain why alumni vote for the old logo? Here’s what I came up with: Deciding between the logos is like a vegetarian picking between meat or veggies!
