Ontario Liberals mocked over new logo
The Ontario Liberals have a new leader in Kathleen Wynne.
Well, now they have a new logo.
Unfortunately, the latter, isn't getting a lot of love on social media with some suggesting that the look was inspired by the popular computer game Tetris.
The new Liberal Ontario Party logo, as awful as the party itself. #awful #olp #onpoli twitter.com/b_scheller/sta…

Hell, the 70s federal Liberal logo was better... AND IT WAS THE 70s! data2.archives.ca/e/e431/e010756…

“Awful”?! The new Ontario Liberal logo is a super-sophisticated subliminal pitch to voters who grew up on Tetris. warrenkinsella.com/2013/05/worst-…

Liberal insider and Sun News analyst Warren Kinsella also wasn't a fan.
"Oh my Lord, this is awful," he wrote on his website.

"The old Ontario Liberal logo was amazing – creative, eye-catching and full of meaning. It was also the product of a lot of consultation and research. The new logo, dropped from on high, is terrible. Bland, boring, blecch. I sure don’t see candidates wanting to send in big cheques for new signs bearing this thing."
I get what the Liberals are trying to do. They want to look fresh and new heading into the next election.
But maybe the party needs to go back to the drawing board?
