Re: [ST] New Triumph Logo

[Neil Lindsey <NeilLindsey@xxxxxxx>]

Actually this is not the only change to the logo

If you look carefully you will see that the character set is entirely different.  For
example, the sides of each character are now more paralle to each other, or to put it
another way, the characters are of more uniform width, without the 'pointy' ends.  Also,
the centre portion of the 'M' no longer extends down completely.

I prefer the previous version, even though the characters tend to remind me of the iron
cross.

Wait a sec ....  although it's a little difficult to see, the logo on the fly screen looks
just like version #2.  Are you sure Triumph has actually changed the current logo?
