Love how in the Starbucks thing "We become a publicly traded company" coincides with "Mermaid chick is no longer visibly spreading her tail-leg thingies"

The new logo makes it look more like a government agency.

Now it looks kinda more like "I brought you these two fish"

Actually it's appropriate because starbucks coffee kinda tastes like there were fish in the coffeemaker

Do people have affection for the original ebay logo? I had to google it to even remember what it looked like.

The old ebay logo was ugly as hell, so step in the right direction IMO. The latest Walmart logo is heinous. Friend said "it looks like a butthole" and that's all I've been able to see since.

"Slicing up freshness!" sounds like the slogan of a serial killer.
― Come Into My Layer (Old Lunch), Sunday, 18 November 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
plus with the arby's thing the issue for me is that the hat is three-dimensional and rendered but the text logo is flat- what is their point? what's that about? is there some hat-as-signified / corporation-as-signifier thing going on? whatever semiotics, it mostly reminds me that a friend of mine had the theory that looking at the Arby's sign was bad luck- if we drove by certain stripmalls he would suddenly say, in a serious voice, "don't look at the hat"
Now in his honor I intone that warning everytime I see an Arby's.

to be honest he thought that the Arby's hat was a penis hidden in plain sight and it was probably just a case of "Schwanzangst"

"don't look at the hat"

I see "slicing up freshness" and just think "slicing up eyeballs" every damn time.

Yahoo!'s old logo was no great shakes, and I realize they're not a top tier player in the internet world anymore, but surely they could've paid for better than this:

Judging from their Flickr redesign, you can rest assured that there is much, much worse to come, and that the worst of all will be the final selection.

This has to be one of the all-time worst - replacing a truly classic, industry-changing, universally recognized, spectacularly distinctive logo/signage with this generic, utterly forgettable POS....

those were actually incandescent light bulbs for many of the animated parts, which were U&K. The cost of keeping the signs lit is cited by the company as one reason they were removed.
An environmental disaster mind you, but it could be replicated nowadays using low-power LEDs for less than the fluorescent tubes in the new signs cost to run.
