I heard straight from the horse's mouth last Saturday that the new logo that was implemented this year is again changing. I was told the sparks would be disappearing starting next year. The way it was presented to me it would just go back to the way it looked before the sparks. So, if you want to pick up some merchandise with the current logo you might want to get to the city before the end of this year.
-
wonder what brought that on?
-
I presume someone did not like the sparks, because that was brought up a couple of times.
-
WHEW! you scared me when I read the subject line.
I for one am glad it is going back to the oringinal logo; I liked the updated look of the new one for the 50 years celebration, but past that, the original should have gone back in place after that was over (IMO).
Now, my question is this: will only the sparks be taken away? or will they do away with all those yellow & blue outlines as well?
-
I haven't paid much attention to the logo lately to even remember that there were sparks. Is the current logo on SDC's facebook the updated version? http://www.facebook.com/Silverdollarcity

No shave that is the old one.. here is the new one for this year (2011)

I like the old one better, also. I don't like the one with the flags at the gate either. I assumed that was only for the 50th anniversary, but I assumed wrong. Give back the log and axe - that's good enough for me.

I’m probably in the minority here, but I loved the sparks! I hated the gold, and blue boarders though. If they could keep the 2011 design with the sparks, but cut out those chubby gold, and blue boarders it would be perfect. :)

The pixie dust was mostly the 2010 50th Anniversary logo, and not the 2011 logo. Since it is definitely long gone, I’m sure we won’t have to worry about that. ;D

Since it sounds like we are going to have a new SDC logo for 2012, or at least back to the old. I was just wondering how many logos SDC has had over the years? I am not sure if the first two were considered logos or not but here is what I could find. Can anyone think of or remember more? I do know there has not been very many.

I never cared for the sparks myself either. Since when does an axe hitting (chopping) wood give off sparks?

That's kinda what I thought too. I thought the logo for this past year looked really animated, not authentic like in the years past (with the burnt orange and black log). I grew up with the old logo, so maybe I'm just being biased.
-
I have also considerd the new logo too "loud", with the colors and sparks.. hopefully they will change it back completely or at least "quiet" it down.
-
Another reason I didn't like the sparks: The old logo left me and my friends/family wondering if the sun was rising for a new day, or if it was setting getting ready for a new tomorrow. ~I hope you know what I mean, I don't know how else to explain it.~ And it would lead to fun little debates.
My grandma (RIP) started a thing where we would say the sun was rising as we were on our way into the park as in saying "Good Morning!", and then as we were leaving, we would say that the sun is setting as a way of telling us "Goodbye until tomorrow!" For us, 'tomorrow' meant 'next time' because something about SDC always seems like a new day where amazing possibilities are waiting.
The sparks made it seems like somebody was doing really hard work all the time, and for me, SDC is a way of relaxation, a way to help me realize that hard work is important, but so is having fun. If someone keeps thier axe stuck in the log overnight, that means they did really hard work and had finally said its time to call it a day and spend time with family and friends.
I hope I'm making since lol
I didn't sleep well last night and I'm stressed about the 8-10 page psychology paper I'm supposed to be writing.

When you hit a fence staple.
Seriously, I didn't really mind the sparks but it did seem to give the logo a Disney kind of feel to it the probably doesn't belong. I don't think I'll miss them either.
-
I guess if they changed the axe to hammer it would work if they wanted the sparks. That would look like the anvil of the blacksmith then.

This is one of my Christmas presents I got from my dear friends, the Sanders, it was one that was replaced with the horid "Disney" version... :)
-
Who could ask for anything more! Congratulations tinmann620.
-
you lucky ducky you!!! Congrats on that awesome stinkin present!
-
Thanks! Brings my total to 9 SDC signs, soon as my "official room/museum is together, I'll post pics! ;D
-
Yeah, you GOTTA post pictures of the SDC room!
-
When I get my own place, probably every room will be a SDC room! ;)
-
I see the new logo is used on the January SDC Times, but the old logo with the sparks is still used on the 2012 Calendar/Benfits brochure that came with our Season Passes. Interesting.
-
I opened the Times online and used the snipping tool. This is what the logo looks like.

I like a nice brown log myself. :-\
-
soooo.. looks like all they did was take away the sparks...
Looks like the "rainbow" around the edge is still the same? yes? ???
-
For me the overall design of the logo does not bother me. Ya there are some of the aspects I dont like but as a whole it does not affect my visit. I am going to love visiting no matter what! :)

Amen.

Right on, Tiffany!
