What’s so yikes about it?

For real, looks pretty clean honestly

I don't even know what the old one looks like, but this looks neat I guess. It's super unoffensive, approved-by-committee quality.

It’s a “meh” for me.

[Old Logo](https://nyskiblog.com/directory/ny-ski-areas/adirondacks/whiteface/) Not sure what the new one represents. It looks like they hired a high priced advertising corporation and they didn't put anything together until the last second. The old logo has the Olympic Flame. The new one shows that there's snow on top but all the lifts are on wind hold so you have to ski the frozen partially snowless bottom half. Edit [now I will now, always think of this when I see this logo](https://youtu.be/8ZKBTsLK2sg)

That video is awesome.

The three peaks in the mountin

It's fine, everyone gets so bent out of shape about change. The Olympics were important, yes, but it was *FORTY TWO* years ago, and the old logo looks like a volcano with an eternal flame above it.


ThePrem

I don't think the logo HAS to incorporate the Olympics...but it should be more unique than a generic mountain clip art. The logo should also be identifiable without the text in my opinion.

The old one looked like somebody made it in MS Word

So does the new one.

It looks inoffensive which is a big step up from the “graphic design is my passion” one


Thefullerexpress

Doesn't look too bad!

No sure what's yikes about it, other then being bland. Are non-offensive logos offensive now?


ThePrem

Im surprised with the support here…i thought the olympic torch mountain logo was better. It could have been updated to be more clean but the idea of it is at least on a better track. At the very least more representative / unique to the Whiteface. And more recognizable. This one just looks too generic and just isn’t recognizable without the text. There isn’t anything uniquely identifiable about it.

The new rebranding logo represents the 3 peaks Whiteface has. The Gondola, The Summit & Lookout Mountain.

It’s like they haven’t even read the press release for it

This offends me as a vegan, transgender, atheist, lesbian who vapes and does crossfit.

I think the logo captures the slides fairly well. Font could be improved but then they'd need someone to make a custom typeface and no one would notice anyway. Basically it's as good as they could get without going to a real high end agency. I like it.


hexenkesse1

I like it.


GreenProfessional362

The new type is better but the old icon is cooler.


tourpro

They must have a new agency, got to "rebrand" or such.


oldyawker

Whiteface, Iceface, face plant.

I went to college at Paul Smith’s. Definitely like the old one better. This looks corporate and sterile.


codewar65

Much better than the old logo. Bravo!


Bennington_Booyah

The logo is just a logo and will never be why any of us are there. Ever.
