i saw your letter to editor today, good one Jerna....can you write a new one about the terrible childish ddesin of the new Touristm logo from Uk firm that is D minus junk? write a good letter about it as you did at David blog! go go girl! today's letter was good. keep em coming!
"Too many things shouldn't be in there: Confucius temple (upper left), Chinese lanterns (just below the temple), chopsticks (bottom right), kindergarten drawings, tea. I do like the butterfly, Taipei 101, and the Aboriginal motif, but it needs to be more uniquely representative of Taiwan -- not "Chinese-y" Taiwan. The "voting" symbol (looks like 卜 in a circle), Jade Mountain, Taroko Gorge, the 高 building in Kaohsiung… there are all kinds of things that would have fit the bill (if only someone had spent the time and effort to find a few that were suitable for a design). But that's what happens when a Chinese KMT gov't chooses a firm from England, WINKREATIVE, wink wink and introduces them to all that Chinese-y stuff.
