Well, I'm not referring to just me. Anyone, young or old, can appreciate Cadillac's traditional colored-crest. In fact, Elvis Presley was a huge fan of the brand in his twenties...with his money, he used give away Caddies as gifts. Bruce Springsteen also loved them as a young adult....as did Bill Cosby.

Doesn't change the context of my point. They were big Caddy fans in their 20s. Unfortunately, Elvis didn't live long enough to be the age you reference.
I was a Caddy fan myself as a teen, although that changed somewhat when I saw that the Buick Electra 225 was virtually the same car (and with a smoother transmission) for significantly less money.

Either way I seriously doubt any Cadillac buyer gives enough of a flip to care what color their logo is and this entire topic is based on a misguided hypothesis that doesn't reflect reality.

It makes sense in the way I presented it. If you don't see it (or don't want to see it) that way, then fine.
They're still giving concerts, and tickets are still being sold. 
They are not parts bin specials. While they do share today's powertrains with other GM products, their interiors, styling, and sheet metal are unique.
YOU don't..that's obvious. But be careful about speaking for others. I sometimes make the same mistake.
Well, we'll see what happens to Caddy sales wth the new logo, and if it was misguided or not.
Try asking how many 20 year olds today listen to the Beach Boys.
Likewise, Cadillacs of the 1950s were a far cry from the GM parts bin special they are today.

I think you're making that mistake right now. For example, while it may be true that Elvis, Springsteen and Cosby loved/love the brand, you're wrong in assuming that the coloured crest had anything to do with it. Maybe they just appreciated the brand for the vehicles they have experience with, and the crest/logo has no bearing on their impression of the brand.

This is an effort to make the brand appeal to younger people, and I would say its worked.

What is so amazing to me is, now all these years later, basically, Cadillacs have the best chassises you can find. Among the tops in class for driving dynamics. Cadillac. Caddies drive better than German competition. I was just reading a MT comparo where Caddy won, they said Caddy/GM chassis tuning has approached/approaching Porsche territory.
Just so they can kill it all off for electric. What a shame.
