Soft-launching premium membership price changes and branding overhaul without change in feature set and without announcement is also known as "This can't go over well, so let's hope nobody will notice and make any announcement about responding to criticism rather than pushing this out with expressed confidence in these changes".

Lame approach, considering bigger deals are made about literally trivial site changes. Under other circumstances I could roll with it, but anything that has to do with monetary matters is nothing to fuck with.

I like "Core Members" because that's more about what these members represent, rather than what they get. "Premium" means nothing today. Premium is what a used car sales person wants to sell you the illusion of. People who keep this site up with their money are the core. The overhauled core symbols are just that. The price changes are not monumental either. Actual changes to the core membership benefits should follow eventually.

Don't get your panties in an infantile bunch about the stuff that matters least.

What matters is what core membership does for the site as a whole and for you individually because if it were just about your vanity and the company's profit, there'd probably hundreds of badges you could buy for a dollar a pop and micro-transactions for every rainbow fart.
