!963 + a better font (maybe Copperplate Gothic) would have been ideal.
― Acanthonus armatus (Sanpaku), Monday, 29 January 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
that one looks cool but also looks old. white outline around the blue makes it illegible. the '66 on looks like a simpler, more modern iteration of what preceded it, timeless imo. they basically kept it (just shoehorned some other stuff in) until 93.
they somehow managed to make the 2016 one worse with the new one.

I thought the W had slipped, but no, that would mean it was advertising Best Wastern. Could've been a good compromise!
Couldn't get past those clever front desk clerks though:
In California, a network of independent hotel operators began making referrals of each other to travelers. This “referral system” consisted of phone calls between one desk operator and another.
I mean, now that's how you make a network! Operators calling each other from their respective desks.
Also, BW tried to pass itself off as a co-op (instead of a franchisor) until the NORTH DAKOTA SUPREME COURT stepped in and knocked off the funny business.

Flipside of this thread: corporations keeping absolutely terrible logos around forever and ever. If the Container Store logo was good, it'd be dope that they've stuck by it, but somehow they have chosen to stay loyal to the most incredibly bland thing possible, all their branding makes them look like a drug store that got a peppy refresh in 1990, and presumably sells tupperware and the like, even as the actual contents of their stores seem to be going for a slightly stylish "mini-IKEA" of semi-designy shelving, desks, and miscellaneous housewares.

Ooh, I've got one! Whenever I see one of these trucks on the road, I assume some executive in 1961 was like "we're a trucking company, I don't give a fuck about branding, just draw something up and get back to doing real work. You have five minutes.", and the company has steadfastly maintained that position ever since:http://www.genesys.com/images/social/meta/JB_Hunt_EN.png
