I heard the statue of liberty cause all sorts of uproar between political types at first but now it's a national icon and maybe the first thing you think of about the usa

Ah yes architecture often has that effect on people because it means a change in a familiar landscape. The Eiffel tower had the same problem in the begining. The CRS had physically restrain Parisians from destroying it. In some places there is a huge backlash against wind turbines. But this graphic can't be suffering from environmental inertia. I don't remember hearing anything like this before Barcelona, Atlanta, or Sydney.

I don't think it's the design I think it's the money spent that causes the uproar.

On a smaller scale there was quite an uproar about Liverpool Victoria's new logo

I agree, the apparent price tag has certainly added fuel to the fire, the question is would people have liked it any better if had only cost a few hundred pounds.

I think it's just typical Brits, anything to have a moan about!

It doesn't bother me what the logo looks like, wait until they start charging £10.50 for a hotdog at the event then they'll be up in arms!
