I read the letter yesterday, and didn't even notice the logo. It can't be too 
bad if it wasn't so horrible that it couldn't be ignored.

I like it it better on paper than I did when I looked at it on 
http://boca.org.au this afternoon. I thought it looked too acqua or something 
on the screen, but on paper it's shades of blue.

In it I can see:
- a flying bird looking over its shoulder
- a waterbird behind two waves, looking to its left
- a seabird, with just its head showing from behind three waves
- a penguin lying on its back behind one wave
- if I turn it sideways, it's half an owl and some gum leaves.

You couldn't do that with the old logos.

Hi all

I am happy to leave others to 'argue' about the choice of colours, bird 
species, how appropriate the logo is or why werent BOCA/BA/Birdlife members 
involved in the process.

But I would like to say that I think the design is simple and effective, and in 
the design world this can be a very important thing.

Also, I don't know about anyone else but the first thing I saw was not a 
bird...but a lone feather being blown around in the breeze.

Looking forward to seeing a hard copy.

regards

Cheryl Ridge
