i agree w/wayne... all of it is shit...
... that type is dreadful...
... poop even.
There's nothing timeless about it... it's already dated in my opinion...
... and seriously... wtf's up w/'horn' mark?

The design looks bad to us because it's made of gradients and to a trained eye appears poorly constructed. But when you consider that they opted for not making it spin around and have a popped out 3d word bubble around it, it actually really sticks out in my mind. The wordmark I agree is horrendous techie garbage, but the horn thing is executed interestingly. Why does the horn have to be symmetrical? Or super overproduced? Perhaps like the olympics logo (which while I agree is a shit approach for a timeless institution), they might be trying to step far ahead of what we percieve and even expect in a logo or even branding perspective. I mean, that horn thing isnt even a logo per se, or even a mascot. It's just a wierd brand device that defies the traditional logo-tagline-spokesperson stuff. Commence retaliation now.

Absolutely fucking horrific.
I just don't get why they'd go down this route? For a human interaction company which would appear to focus on taking the tech out of the equation and replacing with analogue fluidity, why would they go with such a dreadfully cliche techie font? I'd expect them to be aiming for as far away from that as possible! Fuck the reasoning that they're wanting to maintain the w/m mirroring, that was a trite non-entity on the first place.
I don't even want to think about that retarded bastard child of a logo graphic - it's a visual rape which doesn't have any logic, grace or purpose.
Pah.

They don't seem to be using this thing with the type treatment anywhere that I can see on the site.
It makes me wonder (hope) that they released this horrible looking thing in order to get a wack of designers to the site to check out this abomination (and products) before they cease to use it and go with just the wordmark.

i have said it many times... but i do think that the "wireless" mouse that comes with the tablet is the biggest piece of shit i have ever seen. i mean you can only use it on top of the table.... a wired mouse can move more than that
