Spotify and EBay made the right choices here, the new logos are way better.

[–] AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Well, they certainly fin in better with all the others.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Better:

  • Revolut (though a fintech company named after a revolution lacking the charge at the end is still moronic in several ways)
  • airbnb (from awful to meh)
  • Spotify (same)

Worse:

  • Pinterest (original fit the platform and what it is/was pretty much perfectly. Current is meh)
  • eBay (both are bad IMO, but at least the original was bad in a playful and eye-catching way. The new one is just more meh
  • Burberry (the stag was notable and signalled a history of old-fashioned quality that's suitably rugged. The new one is meh AND insecure about people knowing which London they're from)
  • Rimova (yet another fashion brand apparently afraid of being noticed
  • DF (from one of the best and most fashion-appropriate logos to an absolute eyesore and kerning nightmare that invites vandalism)
  • Jaguar (From absolutely iconic and great in every way to even uglier than the new DF one. I hope whomever came up with that got both fired and beaten and I'm a pacifist.)

The rest just go from meh to slightly different meh 🤷

I liked the old aibnb one.

Microsoft went from "boring with a bit of attitude" to just plain boring

DF gets points dedacted for missing the ü dots on both, looks absolutely stupid to a german speaker

What's the reasoning behind? Or just a trend?

Those old fashion logos are actually sick. Concerning that an industry that sells style would make these their logos.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Except eBay, that was always trash.

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 6 points 1 day ago

I wonder how much correlation there is between logo blandification and being owned by giant corporations.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

All these minimalist labels save .0005¢ every time they’re printed, probably even more on promo booths, banners, and the like.

[–] BrowseMan@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Aaaah then indeed that makes sense (and this is not ironic).

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I wasn’t being entirely serious, though there is an element of truth to it. It probably is a measurable cost savings over the scale of the business.

I still think these unremarkable corporate logos are boring AF. Just makes them visually soulless along with just being corporate soulless.

[–] BrowseMan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

I completly agree these logos are boring. The brand lost so much character and flare.

However I totally see "cost less" as one of the reason why these changes were pushed (especially for clothing brands).

"We're a tech company now!" logo

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Top looks like it belongs on a nice sports car.

Bottom looks like you can find it on a new Multipla.

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That font is awful. The G looks completely unrelated to any of the other letters.

[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The G looks completely unrelated to any of the other letters.

I see this, since half of the letters appear to be uppercase, and the other half lowercase:

JaGUar

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Maybe they want everyone to pronounce it with heavy sarcasm and mockery.

Bottom text looks like it belongs on some short-lived product for flavoring water or a gas station energy drink.

You're all making fun of it but this new style did exactly what it intended to do. Everyone is talking about them now.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

If only they sold stuff that the people talking about it could afford in the first place, maybe that'd boost their sales.

Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love how the new logo could be literally done in less than a minute on fucking microsoft office. They didn't even bother with a cool looking font, just generic curvy shit

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm sure they spent an unreasonable amount of time getting that ugly font look just right.

It takes a heroic amount of cocaine to make something so devoid of taste and see it through.

[–] srecko@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

You were supposed to remove the text...

Could JOGUOR become the new KN?

[–] szczuroarturo@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago

I dont understand modern logos principles. How tf is that recognizable. Also animals are fun. Stop getting rid of animals from icons.

Changing things for sake of changing things. Like Microsoft with every moronic "update".
