Oops! The video that accompanies the artwork above has now reportedly had to be modified. Evidently, the flashing lights and fuzzy camera shots caused epileptic seizures.
From Where is My Jetpack? blog
An online petition against the logo that had well over 50,000 signatures has disappeared. A new petition in support of the logo has appeared. (under 300 signatures in 2 days.)

Not too excited about the logo myself, but if they decide to stick with it I'm sure it'll grow on people.
@website copywriter-You are too kind. I will say it: It is ugly. U-G-L-Y. LOL
The organizers said it look modern.
Is that modern? It looks like a mosaic done by a 2 yr old kid.
not pleasing to the eyes at all.
@propolis-Something I just noticed is that it says 2012. I had to stand on my head and close one eye to see it. LOL
