    New IAC logo

    Anyone else think the airplane in the new logos is missing something? Where is the elevator/horizontal stab?

    Maybe not missing, just painted red. :-) Looks like a bit of artistic license as the airplane graphic increased in size, and a horizontal stab would intrude on the clarity of the letter 'C'.

    Something else looks odd... oh yeah, the plane is not inverted.

    Isn't there an aviation saying about that? "Red over red and you're dead?"

    That's what happens when Marketing guys who are not pilots design stuff. Remember the "Aerobatics USA" fiasco?
    I have a wind shirt with a Pitts on the back with several defects such as only one landing gear, no vertical fin and a few
    others.
    I spent a career designing and building electronic stuff, and then had marketing tell us that they had promised the customer something entirely different.
    Then the accountants would tells to build what was promised, and stay under budget.
    Boy am I glad to be retired.

    Might be good that this thread stays obscure. As much as I appreciate the efforts of the folks that put all the labor in to the redesign of the logo, I tend to agree with Jim's perspective above.

    Take care
