In what some would consider a bold move, the associated press has changed their logo of almost 30 years. The finished product is no doubt the result of intense labor by a team of highly-skilled graphic designers who have set out to leave their mark on the world with the masterpiece. Above I have shown you the previous logo and below I will unveil the new, but first I think it is important to get some reactions to the change.
