Lip Man 1 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well there is some good news anyway... According to Sneed in the Sun-Times today the Sox are in negotiations with the Guaranteed Loan Company to make some changes to the company logo that will be adoring the main entrance to the park. Seems they are concerned about the "downward pointing arrow" and the implications for a baseball team according to Sneed. It will just be around the front / main entrance according to his story.

InTheDriversSeat Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 That story was on the entire front page of the Sun-Times on Thursday, September, 22nd, 2016. Nice color photo of the new scoreboard with guaranteed Rate's logo showing on the board, above the headline: 'Sneed Exclusive: Point Of Contention'.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I think it should be changed to an upside down house because they need to turn this organization upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokpelts Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 My wife has a graphic design background. She said that any type of financial institution using an arrow, either up or down, is a big no-no. So she wonders why GR has used one this long and why the sox thought it wasn't going to be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care one way or the other about how the logo looks on the stadium, but I have to agree on the logo in general. I see what they were going for, but a red arrow pointed downward has such a negative connotation to it that it's crazy they couldn't have come up with a better logo. Of course, they're the ones running a successful company, so maybe I'm the crazy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 That was my only point of contention about the new sponsor, the down arrow had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, if it's going to be an arrow, it SHOULD be pointing up as if you flipped it over, not only is it an arrow, it is also shaped like ahouse, which is what you would buy with a mortgage from Guaranteed Rate. Shut up and give me my money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 As long as we still have naked Ty Pennington photographed holding the new logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Sox invited me to Guaranteed Rate Field for an NIU game via advertisement at the Sox game the other day. The sign had the downward arrow on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
