They can chuck it! OK, that's too harsh, but that slogan was too easy a target. It's not horrible, but it looks like a step down from its last logo. The letterforms look too incredibly heavy to my eyes. And after years of having the intersections of the letter strokes end in sharp points, having the W, N and A now end with straight horizontals and even right angles on the N is slightly jarring. Ironically, with the animation medium moving further into CG and 3D and the network itself still trying to integrate live-action into its menu of cartoon programming, the new logo and image campaign are relentlessly *two*-dimensional. And I didn't notice this before it was pointed out by someone on Twitter, but the prior CN logo did look similar to one of the old Hanna-Barbera logos: http://www.mynameisearlkress.com/weblog/?p=108 -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://sterlingnorth.vox.com -- TV or Not TV ....
