I thought I had heard somewhere that it was to call to mind "song of flower" in addition to looking like a lyre, it looks like a flower (eg petals open on the sides, pistles in the middle, leaves underneath).
Given what's been going on in that marketing department of thiers, I would not be surprised if they went ahead and "fix" what's not broken with the logo
You're right about the Song of Flower. I spoke with Rose Clark yesterday because I still haven't gotten my SSS letter and Ted got his ages ago. Anyway, she seems like a really nice person and not just a "yes, man". I told her that when I mentioned to Ted that RSSC was getting a new logo his first reaction was "But we have those nice SSS pins!!! We'll need new pins!!!" Just cracked me up.
Anyway, Rose said the logo was to represent a musical instrument (lyre, harp, pick one) and flower petals for Song of Flower. You'd think that they'd want a reminder of their first ship, their start in the cruise business, sort of a nostalgia thing.
I'm going to miss the old logo like everyone else but I guess we all now have collectors items.
