Old vs New

A new look that doesn't go unnoticed. Yet, with the new and fresh design of the logo for the State Employees Credit Union of Maryland, I do not agree with the change. The new logo was presented to the public August 2010. Ever since the launch of the new logo, the redesign bothers me. Even with the connotations the color green has, especially in regards to money, the new green color sticks out like a sore thumb. 


SECU claims that the logo "has changed its familiar blue logo to a more modern and contemporary green design which immediately distinguishes SECU from its bank competitors and reflects its more up-to-date approach to doing business."
