Vintage logo better than the new-fangled one

I was kind of jazzed to see the Manitoba provincial logo from my childhood profiled on the Draplin blog. In a post entitled “Getting our butts kicked by those provinces,” he calls it a “Manitoba gem.”

Draplin noticed it via SlantSixCreative, who posted it on their blog with the simple note: “This one just stepped into the running for my top ten logos of all time.”

Should anyone tell them that we changed it? Raise your hand if you think that anyone will ever say that the current logo is a “top ten” effort. And let’s not EVEN talk about “Spirited Energy.”
