Logo issue

Other than the licensing issue in the previous section, I also feel that the historical logo/coat of arms should be used rather than the marketing branding currently on display (which is as i recall a Zeller's subsidiary - or whomever's). The big old-fashioned coat of arms is so much more associated with the company it sems de rigeur that it should be here instead; the old "The Bay" logo also would be more suitable, rather than teh current display which is "nearly advertising".Skookum1 (talk) 17:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree. trackratte (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Strongly disagree. Not only because the information box contains nothing but up-to-date information (aside from founding date), but also because the logo you've selected was only in use for a few years in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Historical logos can be displayed in the history section. Superschill (talk) 20:27, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Actually no, the Hudson's Bay Company's coat of arms has been in use since 1671, and is still in use today as their coat of arms. And as Skookum stated above, their arms is the symbol most closely associated with HBC, and has been so for about 350 years. This is also long standing and gained through consensus, so I suggest that consensus be gained before removing it for the third time. Although, if you would like to replace it with a different version of the HBC's arms, I would have no problem with that. trackratte (talk) 21:53, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
