New Church Logo of Jesus in a Bell Jar?
Cold & Lonely
A visit from Mormon Jesus may require a coat or a jacket. He looks cold and frozen and half dressed. The new Church logo looks somewhat dark and dreary. No sunshine at all -- only darkness and gloom. Something hidden.

Cold Blue Mormon Jesus
Anyone in there? Hello!
Going down:
A blue Jesus is not the answer. It doesn't work.
He's cold and lifeless.
Blue Jesus -- cold, lifeless, and lonely

Exactly, it adds a little warmth and glow. Not sure the Man above looks to my personal liking or taste but the use of color is absolutely required! And his eyes look open and genuine. Amen to that.
Everyone needs a Jesus they can feel good about such as this one:
Welcome and warm invitation
Wouldn't something like this serve as a better Church logo?
It's warm and inviting and reflects more accurately how Jesus might himself prefer to be portrayed.
Come follow me and join us.

An arch provides an entrance to walk through, and there is Jesus standing with open arms to welcome those who come through the arch. But they can't even be bothered to come up with interest
A) The head of the statue is in the middle of the tomb arch entrance but isn't that just because the artist drew it that way for the purpose of making a logo?
B) It only serves to remind us of Jesus coming out of an arched tomb entrance when portraits reflect arched tombs but not square tomb entrances.
C) Except for the fact that for 3 years children of gay parents were not welcome to become members of the Church until the policy given by revelation was reversed by revelation.
Corporate Blue
It's a fact that BLUE is used more than any other color for Fortune 500 Company logos, red is second. When it comes to credit cards, it's overwhelmingly blue -- so pay up!
It goes to show that the Corporation of the Church certainly follows the business trend of Corporations. Seems awfully worldly to me and could be construed as a red flag for people looking for a humble Christian church that serves people and gives generously to the needy rather than hording billions of dollars in a secret investment account wherein only a select few know about it and how much is in it.
Salvation is NOT Free -- pay up or forget it!
In order to join this Church you must commit to paying 10% of your income, interest, and earnings to the Corporation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is nonnegotiable. Either you commit to pay for the rest of your life or you cannot join the Corporation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Membership is NOT free but comes with a price, as stated above. Commit to pay or you cannot join.

Two for the Price of One
The Church could have used its unique Christian belief in plural gods wherein the Church teaches that Two-Men who have bodies of flesh and bone run the Church wherein the younger reports to the older, his Father.
If the Church had used the above for its logo then it could have got a two for one in showing the whole world that the Father & Son are Two Persons just like Joseph said when he left the grove and wrote down his testimony of Two Men who appeared to him.
Right? Wrong?
And why use a statue when you can use the Two-Men to signify the logo of Mormonism?
Joseph Smith 1832 Handwritten account of the First Vision wrote:
. . . . a piller of light above the brightness of the sun at noon day come down from above and rested upon me and I was filled with the spirit of god and the Lord opened the heavens upon me and I saw the Lord and he spake unto me saying Joseph my son thy sins are forgiven thee. go thy way walk in my statutes and keep my commandments behold I am the Lord of glory

Future Mormon Jesus
Welcome to the Future! Mormon Jesus.
Come inside and witness ancient relics from the religious past. Meet the god of the Mormons, Jesus Christus. He's encapsulated in his eternal crystal and was worshiped by American Mormons two thousand years ago.
Behold, Jesus Christus, frozen by the Mormons for 2,000 years
This graven image of Mormon Jesus once stood in a sanctuary of the city of Salt Lake for 500 hundred years before the entire land was overrun by the ocean and the Great Salt Lake was buried by sea water:
