    Use the three stars as a logo and keep the $46,000 if that's the best you can do with our tax dollars you need to get out.

    This is waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers money plain and simple. You can't call this Pork Spending that would insulting to the Pig.

    The cost is bad enough but the so-called logo looks TERRIBLE!!!!!!

    I think someone should look into this. Who pushed for the design change? Who hired this firm? Is the same firm doing other work for the person that hired them? Sounds like the Clintons using govt tax money for personal gain.

    Another complete waste of taxes. Let ask all the idiots that thought that was a good idea to pay for it out of their own pocket then ask them if it was a good idea to spend $46000 for something a 5th grader could have come up with.

    What Giles Bigley said above...DITTO!

    Maybe Tennessee can sell this design to the USPS to use as a postage stamp - that is what it looks like! If this design took months to create, some people should go back to Creative Logo Design 101 for a refresher course. Sorry to be so negative, but why change something when change wasn't needed?

    I like it , but its going to cost the state more money due to history books.

    Though the logo is not replacing the tri-star, it will replace the departments' individual logos which strips the departments of their identities. DCS's logo is a child and the motto "lift them up." Dept. of Agriculture's logo features a farm/agricultural land. Department of Environment and Conservation is a beautiful design featuring some of Tennessee's natural environment (and the tri-stars!). Tell me any of that is inappropriate. Departments having appropriately themed logos (like they already do) help people quickly identify the department they are looking for.

    And the red in the new logo is BLINDING. It seriously makes my head hurt. I can't be the only one. I couldn't look at a web page filled with those icons and read through the department names next to them. Check out the Before and After.

    What a waste of money. There are so many other things that money could have been used for instead of this nonsense. Where are the priorities. Who is minding that bank book. Someone (probably several) need to go outside of your cubicles and actually talk to the citizens. If it isn't broke don't fix it.

    Sarah McCoin and Susan Hurst have expressed my exact sentiments of pride in the tri-star logo and extreme dissatisfaction with the new logo. Perfectly stated Sarah and Susan !!

    The current three star brand utilized as a logo and identifier for the State of Tennessee is unique and represents the State of Tennessee very well.

    The proposed logo, despite the cost, is not attractive, is rather bland, and certainly appear more of a college logo than one for the beautiful State of TN.

    I am certain there is a cost for the development of the new logo, even if not utilized. What is that cost? That may be where the real story exist, particularly if the State of TN rejects the new logo and keeps the current attractive logo.

    This is just another example of "too much government" gone awry.

    I design logo's and that's not a logo.

  • Susan Hurst - 9 years ago

    Set aside the facts that most people can make that logo in minutes for free, that it is meaningless except for being the abbreviation for our state which every state has, and the cost of $46,000 which will probably double after changing everything that has the logo--all-spent to change what taxpayers love....
    why would you change something that is so well known, has such history, something Tennesseans love and are proud of and has meaning in that it links three 3 sections of Tennessee together with patriotic stars, as well as representing the 3 things Tennessee is known for??? You can't improve on perfection!

    I could make the new logo on my phone in a matter of minutes, does that mean I should be a graphic designer to? And really 46,000 for five minutes of your time. Get real! If it wasn't the state asking for it it would have cost $500
