<p>As any third-grader knows, if you have to “defend” (explain) it, it ain’t workin’…</p>
<p>And these folks demanded a tax increase for such tomfoolery? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I thought the new (now ex-) logo looked like the the water swirling in a flushing toilet - symbolic of the UC’s plight in the face of all the budget cuts.</p>

<p>Humm, here is a novel idea … stop wasting money for the sole purpose of justifying the existence of the inept. </p>

<p>With a little work, it could also make a hood ornament for a VW Cabriolet. Or maybe on the side of a mug that lets you add hot coffee and the rest of the “C” appears … then the little horizontal line to complete the “cent” sign. </p>
<p>¢al : Still affordable, but not for long!</p>
<p>Wow, this redesign makes the recent criticism over Stanford’s new wordmark seem very, very petty. Kudos to the UC admins for listening… although the din was probably just too difficult to ignore this time.</p>
