Members of the Cornwall County Council in the United Kingdom are debating the incorporation of a new controversial logo. The new futuristic design is based on the Cornwall crest and was said to "represent Cornwall's new unitary authority beginning in April. The new design would replace Cornwall's current logo featuring a chough - a type of bird. The controversy surrounding this new logo centers around the logo's stark resemblance to Don King's hair. According to BBC news more than 10,000 people have signed a petition against the new logo. David Whalley, leader of Cornwall County Council, said, "If the 24 members of the implementation committee listen to all the views and decide the best decision is to keep th
e existing logo, I will ask them to make that decision." Whatever the decision may be, the design will appear on council websites, stationary, vehicles, signs, ID badges and staff uniforms. I personally see only a vague resemblance between the new logo and Mr. King's hair. The thought would have never crossed my mind.

This story generated a laugh or two out of me. I think the modern logo is a cool design and believe it is necessary for a company to update logos to make them fit in with the time period. However, I am shocked that the logo is being named controversial due to the fact it resembles Don King's hair. I think the person that made this claim has way too much time on his/her hands. Yes, the shape of the logo in a way looks like the shape of Don Kings hair, but who would ever put two and two together! Very Strange!
