Lorne that's very big of you to admit it.cheers

BTG thanks for your contribution.. very sound stuff. thumbs

I was thinking about this whole thing in bed at 06.30 this morning (what else would you be doing)! It struck me that there was an air of 'linch mob' about the reaction so far. How would Charles or Mathew reading this thread and the discussions on Mogtalk (and no doubt EMog) react? It occurs to me that they have been called to court, trialled by jury, sentenced and executed without any defense. swear

They are said to be not bothering to listen to the traditional Morgan buyer - is it any wonder when they react in the manner seen over the last couple of days. doh

At this point I do not have the background information to make an informed opinion about the new logo. However there is a great danger that the negative and in some cases childish reactions (I'm not buying a Morgan ever again = I'm taking my teddy bear home and dont want to play with you again) have damaged the realionship. And in this case it is the Morgan community that is doing the damage. redcard

I also think it interesting that it was only the people with a 'trad' background who were really contributing. That says something as well. sherlock

Rant over banghead

All IMHO of course hide


I spoke to a chap from the factory last night at the RTCC Roadster Mk2 launch who when quized said that it was a brand consolidation exercise.

Personaly I've never noticed... but apparently there are several set's of Wing's logo's that the factory use. Differing depending on the medium they are applied to... vehicle, paper branding, business cards, t-shirts and apparel.. etc.

Anyhow... it seems that the drive was to formally consolidate to a single logo for all purposes.... and it seems whilst they were at it.. it was decided that the logo should have a slight facelift.

It's not a million miles away from the old logo.. and TBH.. it would not be the first manufacturer to do this... so I'm personally not all that bothered.
