Somehow I missed this (probably because I never go to BlogAds anymore), but apparently BlogAds has changed their logo as a result of a logo design contest they had back at the end of last year.

I’m not really sure what to say, but I will start by saying it stinks.

The old logo was horrendous, and the new one is just mildly horrendous, but is barely an improvement at all. Kind of a lateral move in the overall image upgrade department at best.

Old Logo

New Logo

Now, I did find the link to the finalists, and I have to say…there are some solid contenders on their list…and yet somehow, BlogAds managed to pick what appears to be, hands down, the worst one of the bunch. Now no disrespect to MDLWST who is credited with the design, as I am sure they do good work (although I can’t find a portfolio on their site). I mean, their logo WAS picked after all, which is really all that matters…but this logo “upgrade” is a head shaker.
