No kidding...I couldn't even begin to think what the Gap logo looks like in the first place much less being concerned enough to raise a stink about it.
I can’t even think of anything to say. All I can do is shake my head.
This reminds me of the time about 12 years ago when the NY Islanders decided to change their logo. (For those who don’t know, it’s basically a solid shape of Long Island in orange against a blue blackground.) The team took the new logo (which looked like the Gorton’s Fisherman logo) to the NHL, which tried mightily to convince the team not to do it. The team went ahead anyway and the new logo failed disastrously. When the team wanted to immediately change back to the old logo, the NHL made them wait the mandatory two years before changing back.
Even worse, the new (now defunct) one looks stupid. More like a logo for a generic financial company.
You do. Logos are a very effective visual shorthand.
You probably just don't realize how much you rely on logos, until the product or business you look for by sight, suddenly ends up looking different and you either can't find it, or don't recognize it.
Well, I hope the teacher’s unions and their democrap enablers are happy with what they’ve done to our nation’s kids. Disgusting.

Tropicana's sales this year (2009) have fallen 20%, down $33million (though there is no hard evidence that this is linked to the pack change)
Yeah .. right ........
An excellent link....
Change can be for the better.
