I think there is a thread around these parts that tells you how.

we dress like professor badass and mormon grandpas, ok?

I like it, old logo was crap


it's ridiculous how Yahoo! still has that wacky 90's logo. Your turn.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Hadn't even thought about ebay for years before this thread.

Only thing I have ever used it fr was unique collectibles. Not so interested anymore though.

 

[alr1ght]

that will be $1M in unmarked bills

 

[kehs]

Doubt it. They're the best game in town.




Yeah unfortunately a lot of branding is pretty one-dimensional like that.

Best in town at what? Amazon is creeping on their turf.

Amazon still has a long way to go in terms of unique random items from individual sellers. I'd say Etsy is more on their turf and growing.

 

[EatinOlives]

Do these "new logo!" companies realize everything's looking the fucking same now? Isn't that kind of missing the point of a logo in the first place?

 

[Fatalah]

Wow, It looks much better now.

Would redesign again A+++++++

Love this post.

The problem is that Ebay has done their best to stamp out small sellers and their unique items when that was the whole point of the site in the first place. They are trying to be some wannabe Amazon now and it is ruining the site. They won't ever be able to compete with Amazon with their media and electronics listings so i wish they would just move on and focus on their strengths.

'dc' comics, 'ebay'. Fuck you redesigns and co.

Looks better

Yahoo! is hopeless. Even if they improved their logo, the name has always reminded me more of a country bumpkin than a technology company.

 

[Hours Left]

An improvement, but still not that great though.

Came in expecting this:

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

The old one looks like shit. It's not 1997 anymore.

The new one isn't blowing my mind either, but it's a much needed update to that old-ass logo. Reminds me of the Chuckie-Cheese update recently.

 

[SMT]

that will be $1M in unmarked bills

This actually brightens up my day.

 

[LeleSocho]

it is better than the old one but it is still bad

 

[Devolution]

Came in expecting this:

Put some sort of leaf on it. Apple will sue.

No point, Yahoo won't be around in a few years.

 

[Splint]

hipster logo, in my opinion

 

[SeriousApes]

Here it is. Simple font, but with a slight wackiness that harkens back to its roots.
Now, a period takes the place of the exclamation mark to signify Yahoo's subtle connectivity and forward thinking and synergy.

The new DC comics logo is awesome.

 

[yogloo]

It looks like an orgy with all the letters touching each other.

 

[rCIZZLE]

Both are bad but the new one is bland as well.

 

[.GqueB.]

You guys may appreciate this. On dribbble (pintrest for designers) everyone hated the new logo so a few people did an exercise where they redesigned the logo but only gave themselves 15 minutes.

There may be more but I'd have to look a bit.

 

[freenudemacusers]

all of those would look terribad at small sizes.

 

[Polari]

Pretty terrible. I don't know why they would go with something so incredibly bland and generic.

 

[Vilam]

I wouldn't have even realized they changed it if I just saw the new one without someone telling me like this. Boring.

 

[Xun]

I only just realised they changed the logo today.

My god.

The old logo wasn't great, but at least it had character.

It's clear Ebay were greatly inspired by Microsoft's new generic logo.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Good bump. Feels like I'm shopping at Macy's.

 

[Xzeon]

so, eBay, Google and Microsoft have pretty much just boiled down their logos into letters and basic shapes in primary colors.

 

[Raptomex]

...ok then.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I went to the ebay homepage and actually thought it had accidentally taken me to google instead.

I bet they don't mind this.

 

[Devolution]

I was talking yesterday with a friend about how not everything needs a minimalistic cold approach, especially if it's trying to invite you to buy things. We were discussing how some stores look so sterile and uninviting now and it's not welcoming really.

 

[Fury Sense]

They just changed their favicon too!

I still recognized it as ebay on my bookmarks bar (no text), so it must be an improvement.

 

[davepoobond]

same shit
