      When one guy in the marketing department only has one job to overthink updating the logo (font) for no reason and nobody notices the change because it’s negligible and that guy keeps receiving the same salary every year no matter what, so it really doesn’t matter.

      You have one of the coolest, most recognizable logos there is, and you do this.

      Could have called this the moment they started selling diesels and estates (station wagons to the Americans) … that was the start of dilusion of the brand.

      Edit: In other news, how about that Lotus / Lamborghini / Aston Martin mid size sport SUV? Pretty neat for taking your kids to school, wouldn’t you say?

    Technically these aren’t logos, they’re wordmarks (AKA “logotypes”).

    It feels like brutalist architecture for fonts.

    The source for this is actually a good read. Why do AI company logos look like buttholes?

    Remember when we used to worry about paper weight and surface for our CVs?
