To the average person it doesn't even look any different.

CNN was reporting on it this morning. ....Really? I'm trying not to be a hater but I'm having trouble understanding why it's such BIG news.

... and this is why many smart people stay away from logos, changing them as little as possible, unless they really suck

Contrary to most opinions I heard today, I think this is fantastic for the design industry.
It's a marvellous high profile example showing why hire us professionals and not your high school student nephew who "knows photoshop".
Along with the 29 other crap logos, it shows that good design is not something that anyone can knock out on a slow sunny weekend. This is a great lesson for all the CEOs with dangerous design talents: don't even think about doing it yourself, you're going to become laughing stock like her.

Though, I wonder how much outrage and negative attention this has gotten outside of design circles?identity - design circles? It would be a boon for our industry if the WSJ, NYT, etc. were to do a comprehensive write-up. That way the people who make budgetsidentity
- way the people who are making decisions, budgets, etc. could refer back to this as the design equivalent of the stock market crash of 1929.identity

"So, one weekend this summer, I rolled up my sleeves and dove into the trenches with our logo design team: Bob Stohrer, Marc DeBartolomeis, Russ Khaydarov, and our intern Max Ma. We spent the majority of Saturday and Sunday designing the logo from start to finish, and we had a ton of fun weighing every minute detail. "

does anyone else think this is absurd?
it would be like if i was to walk into my CEO's office, open up a few excel spreadsheets, shift some numbers around, and say " there you go, i've just solved the 2014 budgeting issues."
asinine.

"We didn’t want to have any straight lines in the logo" because "straight lines don’t exist in the human form and are extremely rare in nature"
OK everyone, no straight lines from now on.

Can you imagine her guffawing away whilst prodding keys and tweaking bezier curves.
Imagine the hate-filled bile rising in the bellies of the design team.
