jordanaire Posted October 30, 2009 #51 Share Posted October 30, 2009 That was one of the first things I noticed while waiting to board the FASCINATION on Oct 3rd...the logo had been painted over! :cool:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieastrosfan Posted October 30, 2009 #52 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Fantasy two weeks ago didn't have the logo as well. I never noticed this getting on the Ecstasy last weekend, but while in Cozumel on Saturday watching all the late comers return, I looked over at the Fantasy and saw it was gone. I saw the earlier pic of the Ecstasy in dry dock with the logo removed, but never thought to check the ship after I saw the Fantasy's painted over.

cruisinsly Posted October 31, 2009 #53 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Looks like the Legend had it the last week of September. I was just down at Channelside last week watching the Legend sail away (getting excited for my upcoming cruise.) and the logo was still there. Here is a picture from last week.

Here is a picture from last week. It seems that they must be phasing them out slowly, or maybe as the ships are dry docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayesouthworth Posted November 2, 2009 #55 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I would be saddened if Carnival put ANY fast food restaurant on board. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv-2-cruise Posted November 7, 2009 #56 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I just came home from the Blogger's Breakfast in NYC and I asked John Heald about this. The vice president of marketing was there with him. They both said Carnival has changed it's logo from the "widget" to the "whale tail". All of the branded clothing being worn had the funnel as part of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they state if they whale tail and "Carnival" be painted instead on the sides of the ships? Or will they just remain white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carncovecruiser Posted November 7, 2009 #58 Share Posted November 7, 2009 The funnel is the best known Carnival logo and they should capitalize more on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'ma Posted November 8, 2009 #61 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I'm thinking that they decided to remove the logo, because of the accident in Cozumel with the Legend. No logo, no one knows who done it! Plus if the ships are just swapping white paint, there won't be a need to paint the ship! HAA!!! As if anyone could possibly miss the "Whale Tale".......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got one of the new Carnival catalogs and most of the branding features the funnel now too. It will be weird to see the little widget go.

flag fan Posted November 17, 2009 #69 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Maybe their new logo is a solid white rectangle? My favorite explanation. (And think of all the trademark infringement cases against those other cruise lines that have white rectangles on their sides? $$$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaJoey Posted September 4, 2010 #70 Share Posted September 4, 2010 It is because Carnival has changed their logo from the C type logo to a logo featuring the carnival smoke stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalFan2 Posted September 4, 2010 #71 Share Posted September 4, 2010 All - Carnival is painting these logos over (on the Spirit & Fantasy class ships) to emphasize the whale tail as THE Carnival logo. Some "beard" in Miami in the Marketing Dept must've come up with this. Pretty silly IMHO...anybody heard of a secondary logo? I liked these logos up by the front of these ships...added color. Even with these logos, it didn't take away from the whale tail...who could miss that? They could've kept the secondary logos and just used the whale tail logo, as they are doing, on their shirts, stationary, etc. Sooooo...if Carnival is going this route, why aren't they painting over the red/blue semi-triangle up at the sundeck level on the Conquest class ships?? Doesn't that detract from the whale tail also? Makes no sense to me. Don't fix something that isn't broke... Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenful6219 Posted September 4, 2010 #73 Share Posted September 4, 2010 This is a pic of the Elation without it from the webcam. This was 10/1/09. OT, but is that pic from a public webcam? If so, what the address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kew1031 Posted September 5, 2010 #74 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Fantasy two weeks ago didn't have the logo as well. we sailed on Ecstasy last October right after the month long dry dock and refurb. I can't access my photos right now, but I have a picture of the ship in port where you can see the logo painted over. Must be something they are doing fleet wide.

djhsolara Posted September 13, 2010 #75 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Was on the Pride this past week and no logo. Saw the Miracle, Fantasy and Fascination...and no logo on any of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
