Maple Leaf looks like pennies being melted? A farewell to the Penny logo?  |

Per RCM Facebook Page: H ave you noticed our new look?
The Mint brand has evolved over the course of its 105-year history and today, is synonymous with trust, pride and innovation. In our new logo, trust and pride are reflected in the iconic Canadian maple leaf, which has been preserved in a rich gold tone. The modernization of the maple leaf â€" made up of coins of various sizes, and circular shape of our name, is inspired by our core business. Together, these two elements represent innovation, a key component of the Mint's story of success.
The Mint's commitment to modernization in the competitive international market is one of the key ways that we are able to maintain our leadership position on a global scale. |

kindergarten design pretty sure budget allocated for this project was not kindergarden-ish |

Did the budget include training in fingerpainting 101?  |

So if the new logo is supposed to be trust (coins) and pride (leaf)- neither of which is obvious- why, why?
So if coins- then shouldn't they reflect our most common ones with the corresponding colours instead of all gold?
If a leaf- then shouldn't it include the stem (like our flag) and not be so sparse (as Hobbes indicated)?
I definitely liked the old one better- simpler and understood.

The new logo resembles more of a Canadian postage stamp, with a cancellation stamp on it. If it were the Canada Post new logo, then it fits well. Howevever, for the Mint, it is cheesy and looks so un-classy.
Wait till you see these new logos adorn the Mint boxes and sets, and boy..... It gives it a childish look.

It looks like an inkjet printer sneezed on a Rohrschatz test.

The image and text bear no relationship to each other: they are different shapes & sizes, different colors, one is text and the other is an image. They are just plonked side by side. This would have worked better:  |

Just another thing to add.... they spent all of that time putting the old logo on their coins since 2003, and poof! Its all gone. Not that anybody really cared about it, but since there was no way to put the new logo on coins, the 2014 lucky loonie is logo-less  |

Doesn't look too bad, though.

But, looking on the 2012 "new design" Loonie - it also doesn't have the logo, instead of , the year (2012) appears there, so it isn't a new... From other hand, just saw the 2014 nickel (5 cent) coin, and it does have the old logo (not "bubbles" ) - that strange. |
