In the others, I saw the neckerchief graphic as a stylized person dancing and didn't see what it had to do with Scouting. The color earth rendition won't work well on a patch. Dominant earphones are a bit odd, suggesting listening to music. Check the style guide. I don't think the red fleur-des-lis is allowed.

This emblem is meant to provide a symbol for USA Radio Scouting efforts throughout the year. It does not replace the World Radio Scouting emblem, nor does it replace the USA JOTA emblem, which is updated annually. Exactly, Matt.

I agree that it is not broken. However, if i'm not mistaken, what Jim is working on is a BSA radio scouting logo not a replacement for the world radio scouting logo.

I really liked the last entry in the list. My second choice was the first. Not too keen on the current World Radio Scouting symbol, as it is a bit dated. My suggestion is to only ask Scouts and Venturers to submit and to vote before choosing any new logo. Thanks! Gordon, W2TTT 201.314.6964 Hi Folks!

Change the "globe with flags" to a "globe similar to the ARRL globe" (see http://www.arrl.org/shop/ARRL-Globe-Decal/). This way we don't have so many colors and potential hysteria with the particular flags used in the design. This will also look better in black and white. I, also, believe the logo should include either the letters "BSA" or the BSA Eagle Logo to distinguish it from the WOSM logo. The BSA Eagle Logo could be incorporated in a location similar to the ARRL diamond on their new globe logo. Since this is for BSA, I would prefer the primary colors be red, white and blue. Jim ... thanks to you and the graphics folks for lots of work in developing these images.

I agree with the earlier post by Frank that any new logo should appeal to youth, and I think all four of the new suggested logos do not meet that criterion.

I see it as a fun design that is simple to impliment. Our group who puts on Radio Merit Badges would like to design a shirt for all of us that has an easily recognizable logo relating to Radio Scouting and I think this one would fit the bill better than the traditional World Scout logo for Radio Scouting.
