I read the article below and couldn't believe what I saw. I am outraged at how offensive that logo is.
Seriously, don't these people have anything better to do than pick apart a darn logo?

"Late last week, Enterprise Florida, an organization promoting Florida's job growth, held a press conference to unveil its slogan: "FLORIDA: The Perfect Climate For Business." Florida Gov. Rick Scott posed for pictures with board members from the publicly funded group, holding a sign with the logo of the state's "first-ever business brand."
Now that logo, which features a necktie in place of the "I" in "FLORIDA," has come under fire by critics who say it's sexist.
“Your tie logo is offensive," one commenter wrote on Enterprise Florida's Facebook page. "What, business is men only?”
“Not very female friendly at all," another wrote. "With so many new women business owners impacting our economy ... you should consider ditching the tie."
Florida is home to more than 587,000 female-owned businesses, ranking it No. 4 in the country, according to a 2012 study. (California, with more than 1 million, ranked first.)"
