and honestly, how much $$ did they pay an outside firm to create this new logo. It was a LOT.. and it's not good, at all.

I think most people will see it and their initial reaction is.. why is this replacing the old logo we know and love, the one that just about everyone lnows as THE VT logo... it's only after getting sent a 2 page document explaining the many different 'meanings' behind that new logo does it make sense (when really it still makes no sense). Just not a well executed plan overall.
