This looks like an offset job gone wrong. Yes, your building needed a change, but your logo did not. If you had extra budget to waste on this, you could have offered scholarship(s) to OCAD students instead. Your thinking is indeed, ‘AGO

Hey guys,
Do you know the last logo was in COLOUR too? and has a version for B/W print?
I can totally see this in 1 colour myself.

It’s a moderately neat design. Tho I do agree it gives a completely different vibe than what’s intended: a feeling of a 80′s exhibition instead of a “forward energy”, confinement instead of stability.

The concept is there, but it feels like it just needs few more nudges to complete the intention.

I don’t know, I actually like it. The color and layering of the letters kind a give me a positive attitude. The colors are vibrant and the movement of the letters make me wanna dance.

I do agree that reproducing this would probably be a pain in the butt. I don’t see how this logo being b/w in a small size can be all that great, or even in color.

Call me crazy, I like it, and I don’t think it looks old.

Hopefully the logo works with their environmental design concepts they come up with. You never know, you might actually like it. Lets see how it pans out.

It seems like people either hates what Bruce Mau produces or likes it.
