    The old logo for me!

    The old logo looks more modern than the new one!

    Just realised I have one with the newer logo and didn't even realise it until I saw this thread! I was thinking that something about this bar looked different but couldn't see what LOL!

    wow.. bad change! I like the old one much better. As ilikecoins said the "new" logo looks like an "old" logo, the bird went from graceful to primitive looking

    The "New" ones are fakes.

    Just post them to m & I will deal with for you.

    Prefer the older one myself.

    I must be in the minority then in that I prefer the new design much more.

    think you got them mixed up. The New modern looking logo is the first one on the left.

    I like the new design.

    The swan with addorsed wings in the old one just looks a bit...old.

    "Old" as in "decrepit".

    the old one looks like the swan picking on a snake ( like mexican coins, and some older german coinage)

    New one for me. IMO more modern and not as rough, I agree the old one looks like it is attacking something.

    looks like im the only one with a soft spot for the old logo :p

    the new logo does look better, but the old one has a more historical feel to it or maybe its just coz im use to it.

    I just realized you have the old one on the right, I had never seen it before so I assumed it was the new one.

    I have to change what I posted before, I like the new logo better now that I know which one is which. oops

    I think the old one looks like it was drawn by a child. But it still has more character than the new design. The new one was obviously designed by someone who does corporate logos for a living.

    It was done by a "designer" who does logos. You don't want to see the other logos that were rejected!
