Univ. of Calif. Officials caught "off guard" by social media mocking
of new UC logo
http://j.mp/TQOeWI (L.A. Times)
"University of California officials said they were trying to project a
"forward-looking spirit" when they replaced the university system's
ornate, tradition-clad logo with a sleek, modern one. What they got
was an online revolt complete with mocking memes, Twitter insults and
a petition to restore the old logo. Students and alumni have taken to
Facebook and Photoshop to express their displeasure, showing the new
symbol ready to be flushed down a toilet and as a permanently stalled
computer operating system. One critic suggested the controversial
image be tattooed on its creators' foreheads as punishment."
