Dequindre Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 That's laughably bad. This is a cringey attempt to look hip in the social media age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of their old one I remember as a kid from the 90s. Btw your pictures in your last post didn't work either. Not sure if it's a problem on my end at this point or what’s going on 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Lower case lettering is seen as less imposing and emasculating in appearance. Walmart used to have an imposing logo in all capital letters, then they changed to a capital "W" and lower case for the rest of the name as it was seen as more inviting...even the star was replaced by a vector flower...

packardbob Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I dig the Burger King logo, it looks retro. The GM logo looks like an icon for a social media app. Not a fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The new logo is terrible. It’s a poor attempt at being hip. They should stick with the last one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blwnsmoke Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Was just reading comments on fb from some of the news outlets and every single one was destroying the logo.. could not find 1 person that liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Autoextremist spoke about the new GM logo for this week's "On the Table" column. http://www.autoextremist.com/on-the-table1/ Editor-In-Chief's Note: Much of the Internet instantly derided GM's new logo, but that ire was misguided. This isn't the same company of even three years ago; and GM is accelerating its transformation at such a furious pace to the point that the company will be unrecognizable by 2025. The company's "best and brightest" designers, engineers, product development and marketing people are building an all-new company that will be one of the world's leaders in EV technology as well as in the mass production of a wide range of EVs. Dismissing this huge effort because you find fault with the logo? Get over it. I'm betting that GM proves the haters dead wrong on this. -PMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how well it will age, especially the casing of the letters, but this isn't terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Unpopular opinion. I honestly don’t mind it. Seeing it next to the old one shows how cold and industrial it used to be. Not a bad move for a different era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
