Editor's Corner: Love, Hate, or Indifference?

In last week's newsletter, I asked you to share your opinion on the new logo for arts and crafts store Michaels. The responses were so interesting that I'm dedicating the next several weekly polls to logos.

To vote in this week's poll (three variations on the Sears logo), go to www.creativepro.com/node/63388. Then tell Sears what you think they should do at www.creativepro.com/node/63415.
