The Australian Chess Federation has a new logo. It's featured in their newsletter, but, as you can see, not on their website.
No disrespect to whoever created that, but geez, it's a bad one. I mean, c'mon! Stick figures? Just compare that to the NSWCA's web 2.0'esque looking counterpart.

Actually, I like the new logo :)
With the three ACF Deputy/Vice Presidents - Jessop, Gletsos, and Bonham, did you really expect a logo that was going to look half way decent?
Regarding the NSWCA, President Peter Parr knows what he is doing - hence the good looking NSWCA logo there.
Since OzChess.com (alias Alex Toolsie hiding behind a pseudonymous ad for his forum) is trolling me again, I note that I had nothing to do with the design of this particular logo. Alex's sniping is therefore unwarranted and clueless, or in other words par for the course from that person. Furthermore I do not recall it being officially adopted as a new ACF logo as opposed to being created to go on top of the newsletter, but I will check on this in case I missed something and report back.
Kevin, your lack of leadership in delivering an appealing ACF logo speaks for itself. How many years have you been on council, and yet every year the membership is stuck with the same old tired out ACF logo.
If you can't make the big decisions, then please step aside and let someone who can get the job done replace you.
Best Regards,
Alex Toolsie
So Alexander Vincent Toolsie initially blames me for changing the logo, then when he discovers that it wasn't changed he blames me for not changing it. What we see here is just flat-out unprincipled trolling from a poster who just wants to attack (and spam for his site) and doesn't care how insincere or shifty he appears in the process.
Alex may think, or pretend to think (it's often hard to tell which with a troll), that the idea of changing the ACF logo is a "big decision". I don't, and in the absence of a widespread or specific-purpose-based push for the logo to be changed, I don't think it would be worth spending money on having it redesigned. Especially not on the basis of the claimed views of a person who, by his own admission, is no longer interested in OTB chess.
This sentence comes directly from The Closet Grandmaster's blog story:
"The Australian Chess Federation has a new logo."
Are you saying he is wrong, even though this new logo is prominently displayed at the top of the ACF newsletter?
Perhaps you should read things more carefully Kevin.
I suggest you spend less time with your snail collection, and more time tending to your ACF duties.
Alex, there's no need for you to engage in pimple-brained trolling about matters unrelated to chess (eg snails), especially not when you are losing the argument again and displaying less intellect than a Paralaoma servilis in the process.
It is, as always, you who should read more carefully. In my first post I pointed out that I do not recall the logo on top of the Newsletter being adopted as a new official ACF logo. And indeed I have had it confirmed by another Executive member that the official logo has not changed. So yes, I am saying that the ACF has not switched logos.
Rather, the logo on the head of the Newsletter is just a variant of the long-existing official logo, varying primarily by being a colour version that is considered to be more visually appealling at the head of the Newsletter. Apart from using colour instead of black and white it differs only very slightly from the normal version.
The colour variant has in fact been on the head of the Newsletter (my copies thereof at least!) since 27 April.
