    I think the fans will get over it, and eventually embrace it. People just really, really don't like change. I've been dealing with something similar. I redesigned the logo for a magazine and consulted on the layout refresh. The initial negative feedback was overwhelming. I think this was due in part to the fact that they sprung the redesign on their audience (mostly conservative, aged 35–65) without warning, despite my suggestions to give people a heads up in advance that change was coming.

    • agreed + note up there ^
      but a sidenote to that: people love change - if what preceded it was bad.
