Band logo
I've taken the reference to 'first time a band had a logo' out of the text. Unfortunately the previous wording ommitted the word *consistently* - which was a very important nuance in the original source article, which is just a blog post by a graphic designer and so probably doesn't particularly meet WP:SCHOLARSHIP. It's worth noting the well-known Beatles 'Drop T' logo seen on Ringo's drum kit since 1963 had been used for years before this and is *possibly* the best known band logo, but wasn't used as a logo for their studio albums.

Love and "Love Revisited"
The current touring band, with Johnny Echols and members of Baby Lemonade, bills itself as "Love Revisited". I'm sure it has never billed itself simply as "Love" (happy to be corrected). So, although they are clearly a successor to the original Love, my view is that they should not be shown as members of "Love" in the infobox, or in the opening sentence. However, "Love Revisited" has been shown in the infobox since, I think, 2011, without causing any concern to anyone, and I can see the benefits in getting some consistency with the tense used in the opening sentence. My view, essentially, is that Love was (or were if you're British like me) a band, but doesn't exist as a band now.

 * Not only the Infobox but also the members description and timeline continues until the "present", how can people be currently the member of a band if the band doesn't exist? I see two good solutions for consistency.
 * Love is not a band. (1) Remove the alias from the info box. (2) Make a section for Love Revisited (doesn't deserve an article) with a separate member timeline
 * Say that Love is a current band, with Love Revisited as an alias.

 * Yes, it needs to be sorted out. I don't think that "Love" currently exists, and I think the point at which it stopped to exist was at Lee's death in 2006.  Before then, there was "Love with Arthur Lee".  Afterwards, there was "The Love Band" and "Love Revisited" - who are effectively a successor band, albeit they now include Johnny Echols and most of the musicians who latterly played with Lee. So, it's not easy to find a simple solution.  I'd welcome other editors' thoughts, and I'm also trying to see if any of the current band (including Johnny Echols) have an opinion on it.

 * OK... I've had a private message off-Wiki from someone who knows - "There are several web sites and Facebook pages featuring the music of LOVE, rather than cause confusion we have a page called LOVE (revisited) when announcing or posting about current tours or gigs. LOVE is the legal name of our group, so for Wikipedia, please refer to the group as simply LOVE. "  So, that's what we shall do.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:31, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Negative review
It's the only mentioned review and it is very negative. Other reviews call it a masterpiece! https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11429-forever-changes-collectors-edition/ Patfromhilo (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
