My initial reaction was shock and disgust.
My reaction after mulling it over for awhile and reviewing some of the material is.... contempt and disgust.

- pizzetta 8y agoI definitely prefer the old logo. The new one is extremely generic and does not convey any feeling via the logo.
- bovermyer 8y agoMy biggest problem with the new logo is that they're effectively un-branding the Library of Congress by trying to brand it as LIBRARY. That's like trying to rebrand the White House as HOUSE.

- reaperducer 8y agoI always felt the old logo looked too postal. Like it was a franked stamp. The new one is also not great. But I guess the directive was to maximize "library" and minimize associations with "congress."
