Do You Go For a Logo?

In the alumni newsletter sent out from my university, pieces started cropping up a few months ago about leaks of a new logo for the school, but also about people organising online to protest it. Now, another piece has come through that the plans for the new logo have come to an end. I don't quite know if this is an "all's well that ends well" situation, as the piece did mention the intended design elements being kept for use elsewhere, but perhaps I kept telling myself all along that getting worked up over small changes can get carried too far. On the other hand, I did find myself contemplating that the current logo so many rallied to the defence of had actually been introduced while I was at university as a mere revision to the previous shape of the shield and the font that went along with it, and it never looked quite right to me afterwards...
