<p>I'm with Lucia on this. The old logo was grim. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Of course content is more important than style, but residents and council staff all take their cue from appearances. I take the rebrand as a positive step by executive staff to ensure that the Local Authority engages more effectively with residents.</p>

<p>With the 'I'm in ... ' idea, Haringey is quite spectacularly leading with its chin. I think most residents would have a succinct way of completing this on the Council's behalf, probably in not more than two words.</p>

<p>What a waste of money! Think it looks very naive and therefore totally inappropriate for a council.</p>

<p> If every council came up with a wacky design like this .... Haringey Council would quickly return to its original designed logo and colours to stand out from the rest. This new logo is horrible and the design conveys a message to me of two fingers up at the borough's location and history, a chaotic an unprofessional organisation who do not know the meaning of respect, and has a "I don't care attitude".

<p>I'm not sure what I think of the design itself, I think as it settles we might like it more. Having been through a few re-brands myself, they always tend to divide people, especially design wise. It is quite a bit of money to spend - but I imagine the aim is to attract investment and challenge some of the negative percepptions 'people' have of the borough. Only time will tell if this will contribute positively to that!?</p>

<p>An appalling waste of money. <br/><br/>Councils ought to be spending money to actually DO stuff for residents, not just creating the APPEARANCE of doing stuff with PR and advertising.</p>

<p>In fairness, I think the logo looks much better when you see it in the context of the new Haringey website and colour scheme. </p>

<p>If the logo’s aim is to portray the borough as a community at a stage of development where it has almost succeeded in copying the letters of the alphabet accurately, then it is a master stroke. The £86,000 could have been spent more profitably in supporting residents who want to learn how to master the letters of the alphabet, improve their literacy skills and be in a position to contribute more to their community.</p>
