Thanks Richard for posting the new logo, what more can I say.???
The logo depicts what it really is, A BALLS-UP hey Marty, blow me
There's an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I personally see nothing wrong with the old name nor the old logo, only the mechanism behind the scenes.
That was what needed change.
There are 2 items I have noticed:
1: Someone has the name registered.
2: Those paying their fees could not vote.
I find it incomprehensible to see how people paying money into an organisation cannot vote in the running of that organisation.
After the new committee was chosen and installed, would it not be practical to announce that a new name and logo was to be chosen, then invite participation from all concerned ie; those that have been paying their dues, to submit ideas for both name and logo.??
Did the people (ad agency), that made up the new name, look at it through a consumers eyes that want their carpets cleaned.?
To me, there is not the remotest link in the new name to reflect the various activities encompassed within the old name, namely Certification, Restoration & Cleaning.
After FORTY YEARS, I find it staggering that so few consumers in the USA, and the other 40+ countries where the IICRC is/was conducting training, know very little about the IICRC.
How long will it take for "The Clean Trust" to gain credibility.??
Or will it become "The Clean T rust".
I recently attended a trade show in Australia and spoke with the Australian people at IICRC, they have been back to me and told me that my certification lapsed in 2004.
They are going to contact the IICRC in the 'states to see how much my reinstatement will cost.
This will be interesting.
