This seems like it could have been a terrific genetic algorithm experiment in picking the new logo - create populations of the logo with variation in shape, font, spacing, and whatever else they could think of. Use ratings as the fitness function, and iterate.
- hisham_hm 13y agoThat would create the blandest option, the epitome of "meh". For a similarly inspired experiment in art, see http://denisdutton.com/most_wanted.htm http://denisdutton.com/most_wanted.htm
- twoodfin 13y agoI suspect that winning online surveys is not a good fitness function for a successful logo. I'm reminded of the spat over the London Olympics logo. Say what you will about the chosen design, many of the "better" alternatives offered to much acclaim were completely unsuitable. In particular, I remember one was a takeoff of the London Underground logo, which, while doubtlessly sure to be popular in online polls, rather missed the point of creating something distinctive.
