Google's new logo is a disgrace. What other companies have made similar mistakes?

Well they did introduce it as being drawn by a child with crayons, maybe the simple look is what they're going for.

Google's new logo is like a child trying to write with crayons, it really is mind boggling what they've done. It has made me lose a lot of respect for a company I admired greatly and I was close to buying some shares in this year.

What other companies have fcuked so royally like this over the years?

The big one of course was Coca Cola and their "New Coke" shambles.

You base your respect for a company on it's logo?!.....aaaaaaand I'm out

I remember Coco Pops briefly calling themselves Choco Krispies.

"I'd rather have a bowl of...... Choco Krispies"

It's hardly a disgrace now. Let's not loose the run of ourselves


Also new coke was genius. How much money did they make when they introduced classic coke and how much brand awareness did they get? A lot.

Coke are the top brand in Ireland so it hardly sunk them did it.

Every time YouTube try to get their music service off the ground I cringe. It's becoming clear that, as the "big guy", they don't want to publicly back down having talked the talk for a few years now. But it's obviously they have nothing up their sleeve when it comes to music.

At this point it's obvious that Spotify have them licked. I was playing my ps4 the other day. Connected my phone to it. Was able to play GTA4 online while using my phone's Spotify app to control the Spotify app on the PS4 to listen to music during play in the background without ruining voice chat or the game's audio. No lag in terms of controlling with phone. No buffer/load time. Great quality sound.

YouTubes CEO said in an interview in Time magazine this week that people use YouTube to "discover new music". Pfft. Hasn't been true for at least two years I reckon. Spotify's Discover feature, "related artists", mood playlists and regional charts are a treasure trove for trying out new types of music you'll enjoy.

YouTube should stick to video.

The new logo seems in-keeping with the company's "beardy/hipster/chill out dude" public image.
I couldnt give a fúck if the logo looks like it was written in excrement. If the search engine works, that's all that matter. I don't wear t shirts with the logo or anything.
