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

        No no you misunderstood the rebrand. Now they do high-end appliances!

      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?

    It feels like brutalist architecture for fonts.

      Except that brutalist architecture at least allow making some good art on them, those logos don’t even have that

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

      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.

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

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

      Apparently they had them 2010-2014 and until 2008 respectfully.

    I cannot find a Facebook logo like that, and it looks like Balenciaga did the reverse of most, here.

    But yeah, in the 2000’s and early 2010’s it was profitable to look radical, now it’s profitable to look professional, so guess what happened? (:
