I hear ya. Collectors shouldn't be forced into a love/hate position. Was it really crucial to change the label at this time? I haven't seen any serious outcry for it. The complaints seemed periphrial at best, and decidedly mixed. Most folks liked the old label well enough even if tweaks (such as strengthening the color gradations) have been recommended.

Consistency is extremely important for a grading service and changes should be thoroughly vetted before being incorporated by a clearly defined need.

One reason that consistant label design and color is crucial (and changes kept to a minimum) is confusion on dealer walls and auction sites.

Of course, this is just my opinion; OMMV.

I agree with everything you just said. Well put.

	I just watched the video for the new design and I think it looks pretty clean. I am not sure if I like the hologram as much though. Reminds me of Upper Deck cards from the 90's. I was not a fan of the original logo either. It had an uptight feel to it. Still 50/50 at this point.

	Honestly, the rivets are the only thing I don't like. Overall, it's a decent design. Not perfect, but it could be worse.

	Something CBCS could've done is come up with 3 to 5 different designs and had a customer / member vote. One of the options would be to keep the design as is. The option with the most votes wins.

	You would think after the CGC fiasco they would have held off on this or at least take baby steps. These companies have to realize they are dealing with OCD collectors, a tiny stress line FREAKS us out, what do you think adding rivits would do? LOL I feel really bad for these companies, but holy heck didn't anyone say um lets see what the customers think first. OR, make a huge marketing campaign "help us design the new label!" Then have people send in concepts or ideas, then let the community vote on these. The winner could get a free membership.
