their logo isn't bad, but it's kinda juvenile.... in my not so humble opinion. and I liked the black and white bumper stickers better than the new color ones. so yes, they should change.
I'd say their font choice and overall logo appearance reinforce their level of attention to detail and quality. As a result, the logo speaks to the brand, which is really all you can ask of a logo.

Yeah like you said burnitalltwice as soon as someone gets interested in unicyclign the first website they will visit is unicycle.com - even if they've never heard of it they are most likely to try that first (I know I did). I just think the logo could be spruced up a bit to look a bit more modern and not so...childish. Obviously the unicycle market has a wide age-group so I understand something that appeals to kids (and parents) is needed - but I think with a bit of time and care a logo could be created that entices all age groups.
I dont mind the logo, but the first thing I did was take every sticker off my unicycle. Maybe if it was a die cut sticker that added to the look of the uni I would have kept it, but a big white postage stamp sticker didnt do it for me. Printing the sticker on CLEAR vinyl would REALLY HELP!
I did recieve a couple of KH shirts for my birthday, and the logo was in black, very small, and very stylish. I was fine with that.
I do get alot of DUNT DUNT DUNNA DUNNA clown music as I ride from people on the street, and having a multi color logo in a simple childs font doesnt help the situation. If it was in black or all gray or something, it wouldnt be as bad.
If you cant read, having a multi color logo doesnt help. If you can read color shouldnt matter!

Another thing we are overlooking: Even young children want to be "cool." Only "out of touch" or "fantasizing" parents slap baby colors on an 8 year old.
I think if the children were on this forum and could vote, the poll results would not be any different.

Good point - I think a lot of people have been overlooking that indeed.
Good point John... I keep forgetting that color does matter. I am about as color blind as it gets! So that custom UPS green doesnt mean a whole lot to me, but I guess if you see colors, you would pick that green out a mile away, and think "wow" thats UPS!
Kids really are fashion aware now. My nine year old son would be caught dead in the wrong shoes!
I think company logos often "date" a company, and it is very difficult to keep a fresh look. But if UN.COM wanted to make the change to black or silver on my saddle, I wouldnt mind the change at all!

I'm an avid cyclist who commutes to my job via pedaling in one form or another. I also work at a bikeshop and on my off time,build trail ( I'm my mtb clubs trail steward.) volunteer and participate in racing, helped found a childrens sub-club for mtbing. I've probably spent more time pedalling then the majority of people. Probably spent more time volunteering my time supporting and improving city and social relations regarding cycling then most people. So yes I take being a pedalling geek and the promotion of it seriously. I spent my morning starting 4:30 today,in fact volunteering at the norba nationals race with my son. We course marshalled at a norba nationals race on a trail that him and I helped build.(Those pro racers are fast!) We spent the rest of our time getting around on our unicycles. Any how, I used to spend a whole bunch of time watching my heartrate monitor and training. After a while I realised that with all the getting better I was doing, I wasn't having fun anymore. So I quit using the heartrate monitors and went back to having fun instead. I'm happy at this level. I hope that you find a level that your happy with soon. Jeff
the poll numbers are bigger than any other poll i can remember.
