It's probably my favorite state logo out there. And not only are they changing it but they are changing it from



to this



and paid 46k for the design also.

Keeping Blue Raiders on the bottom with the minority of the color scheme.

Government sure is good with money.

I would've done it for a $20 Chili's gift card on MS paint.

The link says it is a unifying symbol. Huh? The tri-star is exactly that. that new design is terrible.

Yeah that new design is awful. It looks like a new element on the periodic table.

Vandy is going to use the tri star logo. IMO it suits them better.

What the actual frick?


Our old logo was the best. Plus, the Grizz, Titans, and Preds use it.

Everyone was up in arms when I was in college about Mississippi voting to keep their state flag but this is an example of why you don't allow it to change... The state I live in now has a logo that looks like an underlined element from the Periodic Table... I do feel like this has now brought me and minorities in my state closer together though.

Dude, it's not like they're changing the State flag. It's just a logo for the internet.

Don't like it, but couldn't care less

A spokesperson for the governor's office said the new logo will be implemented in a cost-effective way. For example, he said when stationary with the old logo runs out, stationary with the new logo will then be used.

I'm in the wrong business. I could pull up Microsoft Paint, make that same logo and only charge them $23K

Haslam is getting ripped apart for it on twitter right now. And deservedly so. Tennesseeans have done a good job of reaching out and letting them know this shite is unacceptable.

I'm usually cool with logo updates, but anything that attempts to supplant the tri-star is something I am vehemently against.
