Paul Thatcher said: I noticed the new Church log hasn't yet been updated on any of the FamilySearch pages. I'm sure this is common knowledge, but wanted to raise the point while it was on my mind.

JimGreene said: It is a new Symbol, and is not a new logo. There are guidelines for the usage of the symbol, and they are not the same as the usage for the logo. At this time we are not required to take any action.

Preston Hawthorne said: Jim, I think you might be mistaken. The symbol (the Christus Statue) is new, and may not need to be added to the FS footer, but the actual logo (the text) has also been updated, but not on Family Search. That I imagine should be updated, as the logo is out of date and is no longer supported by the church.

Welcome to the community-powered feedback forum for FamilySearch. FamilySearch personnel read every discussion thread and may or may not respond as their time permits. We all share an active interest in using the resources of this site and as users, we have various levels of knowledge and experience and do our best to help each other with concerns, issues, and/or questions.

I'm not sure why this topic has even come up. It has nothing to do with the operation of FamilySearch and is of minor consequence. Any changes to be made in logos and trademarks will take time and will appear as directed by Church leadership and as required by the legal department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

JimGreene said: Thank you Preston, I will look into this. As Tom states no one has directed us to update it yet.

"This new symbol will be used on Church materials as directed by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Detailed usage guidelines are being developed, including possible uses of the new symbol around the world."
