    This ridiculous discussions about these fucking logos...a meme really

    but...reasons:

    - Revolut going from a startup to a EU wide bank
    - Facebook going from Zuck to Zuck under Sandberg
    - Google going under Alphabet (and material fucking design)
    - Microsoft going under Satya
    - airbnb going worldwide
    - spotify going global adding podcasts and shit
    - pinterest rulling google images
    - ebay dropping paypal and trying to still be relevant

    same with all the fashion logos, almost all changes driven by changes of the owners, CDs, etc.

    I might be mistaken, but all these were strategic, business decisions, then design decisions followed...

    But then some idiots copy pasted these logos all together and called it a "trend" or something.

    Oh well...

    • Legibility would be the trend, no? Some of these were just atrocious logos before (ebay??) Some did lose character, though, like Burberry.formed
    • @formed yes, scale to other markets and the logo needs to adapt easily

      And in the case of Burberry, the branding switched to their famous pattern      grafician
