Real improvement over the old logo. I particularly like that we are now referring to ourselves as U.S. Masters Swimming rather than USMS. If we are trying to attract new members and we are all on occasion walking billboards with meet t-shirts, who knows what USMS means besides those who are already members. I have any number of meet t-shirts in which neither the graphics or text give any indication that it is actually from a swimming event. Kudos to the group who picked the name change and the design.

Why do you need to play with the logo? Don't you have any toys of your own?
Look, I can understand that the designer possibly went through an awful process of trying to make way too many people happy. Any true creativity may have been snuffed out in the grinder of conflicting tastes. I don't know that that happened, only the designer can say.
There are all kinds of unkind remarks made in these discussion forums, most of it annoying banter that gets repeated over and over by a group of people who use the forum as their toy. Me, I'm a designer, and designers like new toys to play with. Since I design t-shirts for my local club, the new logo is a toy I'd like to use. Should I come up with a design that violates the style sheet, I will pass it by probably the same people the original designer had to pass it by. How flexible will they be?
Would workouts be more interesting if there were 8 strokes instead of 4?
