The new icon is clever. I think they could've kept the serif font. The new type isn't doing it for me.
The Met museum logo is brilliant. I've been going to that museum for 30 years, so there was emotional attachment to the old one. I like them both.
Why the redesign? What problem does this new logo solve? Isn't there anything better designers or PMs can spend their time and money on? The old logo projects quality, heritage and looking at the symbol it resembles more of a library. The new logo - doesn't fit the image of Oxford and looks like any other 'modern' Dribbble logo. This is another case of redesigning for the sake of redesigning or to stroke someone's eg…
What "problem" did the old logo solve?
False dichotomy?
Does it? The old logo looked like any number of older logos. Lace around book with latin in it. Not bad, certainly. But "projecting quality?"
I don't actually know what the image of Oxford would be. I suppose you could echo back to my "any number of older logos?"
I oddly agree with this. But... I also don't see it as a problem?

Not worse then the TFA. IMO the other side of the arguing is easier: instead of the merits of the new logo, we can agree that the old logo is just not compatible with something that is modern or inclusive, and it had to go.
What's TFA?
Ooh, ooh. I have one to share! The infamous "Case" Fat Man With a Surfboard logo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Western_Reserve_Universit... Is it as bad as the Met's new logo? Probably not. Is it pretty objectionable, and universally maligned? Yeah, definitely. Anybody else got one to share for our shared schadenfreude?

scroll down until you see the man with his penis on fire. It's on all their signs.
Also the logo is completely fine, as is the example of the Met.

I found the Met's rebrand interesting to consider. I am on the younger side/moved to New York recently. Without knowing the history of the Met logo I have always found the (new) logo fairly iconic- the stickers visitors wear, and the various paraphernalia with the logo look good to me. I find it clean and sharp. I think I actually prefer it to the old logo (which I do not remember seeing before today)
As someone who never saw the old or the new logo before today, the old logo looks ugly and forgettable to me. If you gave me $1000 a week from now, I don’t think I can recall what organization that logo belongs to

I like it because it adapted its image to its nickname. "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" is the museum's full name - embracing "The Met" formally is a nice, humanizing touch.
I doubt an American museum could ever change that, embracing something so generic is limiting for identity & brand awareness IMO.
