I was thinking maybe I should be running a contest on this...Hmmm. My wife Tammie and I were just discussing gradual (and not so gradual) changes that were occurring on ActiveRain. Without that discussion I would never have noticed what happened to the logo in the last several days.

Here's the current logo as it appears across the header at the top of our page.

What's different about the ActiveRain logo?

What's missing? Well, it's something that I often think about when I'm describing the incredible benefits of being part of this great community. Here's the logo as it appeared just a few days ago:

Notice the missing words: connect.share.learn. Not a big deal to many, but I have to admit when I recognized the change I was a little disappointed. I know tag-lines change all the time, nonetheless, those three words summarized so well what ActiveRain is all about.

connect.share.learn.

Tom, you are indeed observant! I hadn't even noticed. And you're right - connect.share.learn is what this place is all about.

Good evening Tom,

Wow..I'm surprised they would remove these words when they are really the heart and soul of Active Rain! Connect..Share... Learn is what I've always felt this place is about! Good question to ask!!!

Perhaps it doesn't fit with the direction the new owners hope for the platform?

It does make you wonder why they did it, but I have a hunch it was for simplicity rather than change in strategy.

We make up this community. As long as we continue to connect.share.learn., that's what will happen.

Good morning Tom. Those words were certainly very true and even if they aren't there any longer, that is still what all of us get by participating.

So many changes here recently. I hope the removal of the tag line doesn't mean a direction of separation.

Boy you guys are observant. I would have never noticed that subtle change. I did notice that our badges changed. They have white backgrounds now. The ones that say Rainmaker or Ambassdor. They used to be blue or orange and now tey are white with blue or orange type.

Tom, I noticed something was different and had to think on it for awhile before I realized what it was. I was a little disappointed too.

Great observation! Tom. I am sure many of us old timers will continue to connect, share and learn in the Rain. Let's hope the staff will bring it back.

I would have never noticed if you hadn't said something. I wonder if the AR folks even noticed it. Kerrie La Guardia Did you notice?

Ha, that was me!!!! We just did it to clean up the look, no conspiracty theories here. Connect, Share, and Learn is tattooed on my ____.

Did anybody notice that the second cloud is missing in the background. If so, you were probably the "Where's Waldo" champion of your neighborhood when growing up.

Huh...I beg to differ but I think it's a pretty significant change and not one that would made on a whim to "clean up" the logo, Kerrie La Guardia .

I am so observant, I would have never noticed this Tom, nice catch. It is nice to see Kris Neese 's comment and realize that is was just an oversight.
