Hi,

as I said in a different thread to the same subject, this is a stupid idea.

The EU is starting a procedure to ban the swastika from use as it was 
used by some 100 million nazis and most of them are meanwhile dead. The 
EU is totally ignoring the fact that some 2 billion people are using it 
as a religious symbol.

The same things happens here too. A minority is making a lot of noise 
and the majority is expected to move.

People who do not like the new logo should come up with the same reasons 
against the new one. It is alsways possible with this kind of arguments 
to be against everything.

Erich
