I dont normally, no. A little criticism here and there is not bad. However, if I go into the only restaurant in town with someone, and they critique the menu, the food, the seating, the waitstaff, the pricing and any other little thing they can think of, I definitely would. If the restaurant is that terrible and you have every single answer, why wouldnt you try to compete?

Yes, Flo has market share, but if there are that many holes in their service as some would have you believe, there should still be plenty of opportunity.

Eh, I don’t think most peole think that Flo is “that terrible.”   Just wish it was better.

You new here? @jon has spent the last month railroading every thread with flo hate. I am sure you have noticed that he has liked damn near every post that criticizes flo in this and the other flo thread and he is not alone in the hate. The healthy criticism was gone long ago. Now it is just ridiculous.

Yet again flo rips the rug right from under our feet.

Sorry, didn’t realize that liking posts qualified as ridiculous

logo change is whatever, but color scheme blows. it's like child color book red. dull disgusting hue. not very sharp, bad move. and they probably paid someone 100's of thousands for that children coloring book move. 

[JasonBryant 1,541]

FloTrack has been red from pretty much its inception. Other sites have also had differing color schemes. They’re going for a uniform brand identity. Note all the FloSports twitter accounts.

We will probably forget about it soon enough. I’m not a fan of it, but it is what it is. I’m not a brand expert, so I’ll defer to what tests well - and let’s also admit we as a sport break a lot of the norms when testing. It might have tested off the charts in the general sports viewers for all we know.

I don’t get why everyone is making such a big deal about a new logo? Who cares. It’s just a logo. Is it really any worse or better than the old one? Doesn’t make a difference to me as long as I can watch wrestling. If they would have started with this logo, I bet the same people would be complaining if they switched to the green one. It doesn’t make sense to me to change everything after so long but I’m not a marketing expert. That said, if they are going to spend money, I really wish they would’ve put it into better technology so they don’t have anymore streaming issues

So I guess red won because Mark Floreani is still around and he’s a track guy :-) ?

LOL I just googled “Mark Martin Floreani” and this is one of the first results that popped up.  Sounds familiar...

Totally agree. Who really cares? Plus, many times their streaming issues are really yours for not having adequate internet speed.

I noticed you left out the railroading of multiple threads. Yes, liking posts isnt a big deal, but the entire shtick has gotten pretty old. You are apparently sympathetic to all this. Im sorry you were so offended by the logo change.

I wasn't actually.  I tried to keep it to the existing flo thread simply saying "what's up with it."  But since a new thread was created on it, I shared that I think it was unnecessary.

One of the things I always thought Flo got right were the colors and branding of it.  The new colors/logo/branding is terrible.

[AnklePicker 384]

If the colors were always red and they changed to that lime green color you guys would be whining ten times as loud. I actually prefer the new logo to the wave and I’m already starting g to prefer the red. I always thought the green sucked.

Nobody asked your opinion, Swan.

Move along.

It was a joke, gents, obvi. Apologies. :)

They asked for an opinion on the color change at Carver Hawkeye...was met with overwhelming boos.

I'm here to state that the logo/color change has no impact on my life.

Well, that MatTalk Online logo is real snazzy.

Can we still blame Martin?

I mentioned earlier that I think you can.  It seems red was always the FloTrack color, and Mark was a track guy.  Maybe if Martin was still around maybe he tries to make everyone green instead of red.

If they make custom mats for one of the various tournaments they sponsor, regret will soon follow.
