Why Carnival is removing the painted logo from their ships

[mosaic_mom]

I know there was a thread asking this question before, but I could not find it, so sorry about that.

 

I asked John Heald why they were removing the logos from the ships and this was his reply:

 

We have indeed removed the logo from most of the ships and will complete the work by the end of the year. This is because the widget thingy is no longer our logo…………it’s now the smoke stack…………the most famous smoke stack in the industry. I would be grateful if you could add this to the thread thingy on Cruise Critic.

Thanks for posting that. We can always count on John for the inside scoop.

Guess you don't really need the big logo, everyone knows it's a Carnival ship by the smoke stack.....

Yes I asked this question at my Behind the Fun Tour, and they said they are now going to use the funnel for their logo - even though its still on their sail and sign card... Hmmm, guess they forgot to remove that one.

There was a logo on the ships?

I'm sure it will be replaced as soon as their current stock has been depleted. Why throw out all the old stock if the cards still work? That would be wasteful, wouldn't it?

Great info! For those who are curious I was able to find the new and the old official logos.

That little widget thing was still on the Splendor last month, guess they haven't gotten around to that one yet.
