New AIS logo

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/ais-adopts-new-logo-20140203-31vlh.html

Personally I don't like it.

Does this mean our Centre of Excellence men's team will be wearing gold uniforms when they compete in the SEABL this season?

A crumpled up ribbon in the shape of Australia, that is.

"Anybody like to put a figure on what that cost?"

After considering this I'll probably like it a whole lot less.

To do the research and design it etc probably somewhere in the viscinity of 40k from previous experience. I agree it looks like a piece of ribbon to me.

Looks like an athletics track - does this show where the AIS focus will be?

My 15 year old sone is a wizz on computer graphics design and could have done it for $40.00.

I thought the AIS changed it's name to COE?

I'm confused!

Wear it for the small part of their SEABL season.

Keep in mind, as that is the finished product, which was signed off by the AIS, the designer(s) would have spent a lot of time with research and concepts. That is where a lot of the costs would come from. Then even more money goes into replacing the old logo with this one on signs, stationery etc...

Quite often the client picks the worst version out of all concepts presented to it, so don't blame the designers!

I don't particularly like the logo. I think the size of the font is too big and the font doesn't suit the letters 'AIS'. It kind of looks a bit rushed and not very original or unique. Plus the drop shadow and vignette in the ribbon/race track/map of Australia whatever it is/ kind of gives the impression of trying to 'polish a turd' (industry slang).

Though I wish there was more gold in it, and less bronze ;)

It's in the shape of Australia. Which I kind of like but the AIS font is so ordinary it hurts...

all in all, its not an improvement from the previous and as a logo (i.e. an image to represent) it isn't anywhere near powerful enough to stand out on its own.

Total Fail

A lot of people really don't understand how much it costs to re-brand a company especially one as large as the AIS. The $500K would include all printing and installation costs, and to replace everything that had the old logo with the new one such as signs, billboards, marketing collateral, advertising etc...

The logo design, regardless what you think of it, is irrelevant as that would only be a small % of the overall cost.

Wildcats fan, the article I read actually said nearly 500k in development costs, not implementation. The journo might have it wrong...

Its possible. I would have thought that cost is for the whole overhaul. $500K is a lot for just the development. However looking at some major companies the logo cost alone is in a similar price range.

These say just logos only, but it might imply their entire rebranding process.

Wow ppl in marketing are rorting corporations. $500k what a joke. I thought the new wave of NBL club logos were bad but at least they use MS Paint and aren't stupid enough to shell out half a mil.

Oh wait as AIS is gov. funded that means the country paid for it right? What an absolute f**k you to the citizens of this nation.

It's ok - but will get lost among however many other logos use the shape of Australia.

The original was unique and must have had huge value as brand given how many cereal packets it has been on etc. I loved the old one, and dont mind it being retro. If they wanted to refresh it / update the styling that would have been fine (eg Windows logo).

But to start again with a new brand smacks of small mindedness and executives wanting to stroke their own ego. In going down this path they really needed something brilliant - ie that looked great / had cut through, was unique and readily identifiable, and was at least as good as what it was replacing (eg Woolworths and BP).

i think the colour scheme that iv seen which will be a really ugly dark blue and yellow, not embroided emblem. the shirt looks like a cheap knock off shirt that will tear or fade after 2 washes, couldn't wear that colour combo in public without looking like a tosser or commonwealth bank worker. shouldve made the colour scheme gold,white and black to go with the new logo
