Repeat visitors to the Combat Paper web site may have noticed a change in our logo. The original logo was based upon an inverted image taken from Breaking Rank, an iconic piece by Drew Cameron depicting the ritual shedding of his military uniform. It served us well; after all, it was our metaphorical starting point. It was created by our web master in the summer of 2008 as we first launched our web page.

The new design is reminiscent of Army Wrong. The concept was first used in publicity for our Firehouse Gallery (Burlington, VT) exhibit and community workshops, and again at at our workshop in Madison at the University of Wisconsin. Our thanks to graphic artist Julie VonderVellen at Madison for the current design.

But after making the change, we're not sure. The new design is crisp and bold, attributes that we like, but it lacks the nuance and interest of the original. We're in a quandry. We'll be discussing this (and a number of other items) at our planning retreat and residency in Key West in December. We'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have an opinion, drop us an email. Let us know what you think and why.
