To dislike the Mumsnet logo?

[molehill79]

Just that really! I think the women - especially the one on the left - are a bit annoying. I think they could do better, really. What do you think when it pops up on your app? Realise this is v much first world problems and all that so please do take it as tongue in cheek!

The jeans are 70s flares like Charlie's Angels wore, not really meant to be "mum jeans" 😂. They'd look fucking stupid in skinnies.

Looking at it now properly (google images!) it reminds me of a spider. And suddenly i'm struck by how all three are mums of toddlers or babies.

I've been here since ... erm 2008 i think. I've got 4 DCs ranging from 4 to 25 years old. I too think a new logo is needed.

Laiste - there's nothing to to say this isn't one family! Grandma, her two daughters and their 3 children? Or two mum friends and a teenage daughter with three siblings or babysitter the neighbours children etc?

PS I don't love the logo either

Yeah it is cack, very dated

That's true graceful :) I suppose that middle one could be a granny ...

i'd still like to know why i can't see it anymore!

I don't think skinnies were a thing when it was designed.

What are they on? A rock?

What are they on? A rock?

Glue, I reckon.

Here’s an updated one.

Ofthread

the women look a bit smug and the kids look a bit annoying

In a silhouette?

Think you’re protecting Mole...

@Thistlebelle Do you mean projecting? Yes, maybe. But I thought a large part of branding (including logos) was to make the customer feel something towards the product or service, to evoke feelings of loyalty, pride, desire eg. The Fairy baby, the WWF panda logo etc. So is it totally bonkers that the Mumsnet logo evokes certain feelings from me eg. I find the characters annoying?!

The Fairy Baby goes Ray Winstone makes me want to put the tv screen through though.

They need to rebrand asap Maybe launch a comp for a MN to design a new logo?

Oh. Just realised that the mug icon is the silly logo. I always thought, and accepted, it was a cannabis leaf.

I have commented on the logo before. I hope I don’t get myself banned but I think the logo is awful, really, really awful. It’s so naff and dated it’s unbelievable. It’s not dated in a cool way it’s just dated.

I’d ditch it.

What about changing the name to “FamilyNet” and having a logo that represents a “family”.

(It may not be popular. )

Until recently I thought it was a crab.

Yes Mole I did mean projecting- autocorrect got me!

You find them annoying but I’m not sure I agree that there’s anything inherently annoying about the logo. It’s pretty bland IMO.

Omg, it looks like some kind of octopus / army of mothers hybrid.

Or this? 🦇💩

The baby’s hand on the left looks a bit like a large penis

And in a rather unfortunate position too...

I can not unsee that. Does no one look over and point out these things BEFORE they use them?

It's a terrible logo. There was a thread on another forum about it a while ag but it may have been archived because I can't find it now. Several posters on thee thought it was violent, that the top child was holding a handgun, the person on the right a grenade and the baby a machine gun!

I think the original Charlie's Angel one they have tried to copy (so badly!) has guns doesn't it? It's too complicated for a tiny image on a phone or tablet...

Dope leaf. Sorry.

As the MN strapline is "by parents for parents", why isn't there a man in the logo?
