This has been the personal LRC logo to me lately.

Leave it the way it is. I can't afford to change my tattoo right now.

Ka Mate, is that really you?

You never sent me a sign. You never let me know how you felt. It's decision time. I can't waste my entire life waiting for you. Do you want to give me a shot or not?

I'm a guy. Maybe thats why

I'll bring this thread back on topic:

I, too, think it's very outdated and cheap looking. If LR is looking to expand and grow they need something they can put on t-shirts and what-not. I wouldn't mind supporting LR and wearing they're logo... but not if it looks like that. Some people may have sentimental value attached to it but it's just not a sellable logo.

One thing they could do is have a logo design contest and see what the LRC can come up with. Free/cheap for them, fun for everyone else.

Definetly

I like it the way it is.

I'm sure it seemed fancy and high-tech back in '99 when this site opened (and a fine site it is too) (note the buttering up) but it could really do with a change.

The logo was not high tech looking in 1899.

I agree the logo is terrible.

A logo contest is a good idea.

Maybe not "high-tech" looking, but it looks like the logo of every other website from the late 90s. Back then everyone was crazy over clip art, blinking text, and headers/images that moved. That logo is about typical of the 90s internet.

I agree completely.

Back when the website was being redesigned (and I'm a fan of the new look), I made a very similar suggestion. There were a number of other logos in the proposed templates, all quite simple but also simply better then this one which looks like how documents looked once people go their first Mac (different fonts and cvolors interchanble even in the same word).

Aftyer all the work done on the redesign, I was shoicked to see the same old and dated logo.

I think even using one of these other basic logos that were already done would be a good step.

Should replace the orange oval w/ a bannana

Agree. I was surprised when they changed the site that they kept the same logo.

It definitely looks dated although much of the subject matter posted here is, too. You could probably find dozens of threads going back to '99 that are almost identical to something posted this week or month.

But a good site worth keeping.

I kind of see these Logo Contests as being equivalent to reality TV. Why have amateurs do what professionals could have done?Anyway, it is a horrible logo that is not marketable in the least...which makes it perfect for this site. LRC needs to keep its underground mystique. Having LRC singlets, skorts, etc., would just degrade the brand. Keep it real Brojos, keep it real...

Having reality contestants do the logo would be better?

Uh, actually I was making an analogy between reality TV contestants and real actors. So you see, instead of having a logo contest where amateurs, such as ourselves, design the LRC logo I was insinuating that LRC should just hire a graphic artist or some other type of professional to...oh nevermind.

Yes, reality contestants would be better.

You'd be surprised by how many professional creative types are also runners / end up hearing about these contests. I'd repost it on one of the boards I frequent, for one.

That world-famous logo is probably worth millions to the Bros. Microsoft tried to buy them out, wanting to make a sweet "microsoft.com" oval, but the brothers held firm.
