Even newer logo

Post by richard@imutual » Mon Mar 10 2014 11:19am

We've made couple of further tweaks to the logo.

Partly to address this point:
garindan wrote:- the blue colour looks different to the other blues used on the site. It might not be of course but looks slightly out for some reason. If it isn't just my computer - I'd suggest the blue used is the same as the colour used to border the box around the unread messages and statement information when you are logged in.
And also to include our new symbol - a "pie", representing the fact that both the main benefits of imutual - cashback and shares - are about giving you "a slice of the pie". I'd struggled for a long time to come up with a graphic that would symbolise what we do, and I think this is both simple and effective. To an extent, we're thinking ahead to when imutual is a 'household name' - most top companies have surprising simple logos, and we're following in that vein.

As per my earlier comments, I fully expect that not everyone will like it, this being a very subjective matter :| But hopefully it will grow on you :twisted:

How about a poll - does the newer logo say quarter past 12 or 3 o'clock? ;)

Indeed. There have already been several alternative suggestions for what it looks like - a clock, a pacman, a pram .... :lol:

Oh well, better to be talked about than...

Perhaps if it were 3D it could look a bit more like a pie?

I like. I see where you are coming from. I can see this working out very well.

True but you lose the essence, the simplicity, the message.

Something ought to be done to make the graphic less stark next to the writing - since the writing is italicised and the icon isn't?

It will be the browser's cache that's preventing you from seeing it rather than cookies. Ctrl and refresh should do it :)
