One of the designers of the new UC logo explains why he thinks it’s exciting and necessary.

A lot of folks aren’t in that camp (at least 33,000, according to Change.org), leading to personal attacks like this one on UC’s creative director, Vanessa Correa:

It’s also a heavy topic of discussion on Reddit’s Berkeley community. What do you think of the logo?

(If you’re curious, BTW, Fast Company has a piece explaining the reasoning on the change, which was part of a complete rebranding.)

We demand, on behalf of all the seniors, poverty-stricken and children, that Pepco immediately begin investing their profits in improving our power and implement a long term solution to these unacceptable delays.
A new Change.org petition against Pepco, a mid-Atlantic energy company • Demanding that the electric company change its business practices, in order to put an end to regular power outages in the DC area. Think that’s bad enough? The power company also wants to stick its own customers with the cost of a public relations campaign that argued it did a good job keeping up the quality of its utility service. This is despite the fact that this campaign was unsuccessful. Pepco’s service has been in the news recently after millions of customers lost power over the weekend after a heavy storm, most in the Washington DC region. source (viafollow)

These are real people, telling their real stories. I think it could create a big change, and it could potentially save lives if kids are allowed to see it.
Teen activist Katy Butler • Discussing her Change.org campaign to encourage the MPAA to change the rating of the documentary “Bully,” intended for teen audiences, from R to PG-13. Butler’s campaign has put her in a position where she’s talked to lawmakers, done interviews and even was invited to speak at a discussion about the film by the MPAA, where she said this about the R rating: “The kids can’t go to see the movie by themselves — and, honestly, how many 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds want to go to the movies with their parents? That’s just not cool.” Did the MPAA make the wrong move with the film’s rating?
