I actually don't mind the bird in a blender logo, but without the tertiary blue
I agree. If memory serves this was the secondary logo for a short time after the I-State logo was introduced. I put it on one of my bags boards only for it to be phased out soon after.
I'm pretty lukewarm on the old logo myself, but I have to chuckle at people who complain about tertiary blue when this place salivates at every opportunity to wear black, of all colors.
