Same as the old Trinity College Dublin logo.

Released today –  following amusing design controversy – to the readers of The University Times.

It’s literally a badge of design compromise.

“In early April, a logotype was presented for preliminary approval to the Board, despite significant opposition from internal college groups, such as the Fellows, who had said that they “did not think [their] views were being listened to”.

Significant controversy arose from a perceived name change in the initial logotype, which dropped the “Dublin” from “Trinity College Dublin” in favour of “Trinity College, the University of Dublin”, in an effort to emphasise that Trinity was a university.

The logotype was also perceived to look toy-like and less “heraldic”, leading to widespread parody on social media. The logotype approved today retains the “Trinity College Dublin” name and includes a more heraldic logo.“

I am trying to find the owner of a very nice Samsung phone that was found outside my workplace on Lower Hatch Street [Dublin 2 ] on Sunday night/Monday morning. It’s locked, so I can’t contact anyone on it to find an owner. We’ve had it on all week, but nobody has called it. There is a missed call on it from someone named Joyce, though. It’s off now as I tried to use the IMEI to contact Vodafone and get them to contact the owner (they weren’t very helpful).

If nobody claims it by the end of the week, I’ll hand it in to Pearse St Garda Station. I’m sure someone is missing it, though! It has a message saying ‘Cougar Baby’ above the unlock screen when it turns on, but the missed calls block that.

Anyone?

UPDATE: Owner located!
