It's probably too early to call Google's new logo a branding failure. The general public's initial negative reaction might be attributed to change aversion. I recognize that, for example, my personal bias against the new logo is not just an aesthetic judgment but also a result of an emotional attachment to the classic Catull font. Many of my Googler friends share the same sentiment, but some of them reported that after a week-long preview period, they hated it less. Maybe the sans-serif new logo will eventually grow on us as the company evolves.
probably many went for the first answer thinking that it was for the top logo... I'm not if intentional but the order is confusing...
ReplyDeleteYes, I should've disabled randomized ordering on GCS. The order is fixed on other platforms, though.
DeleteProbably crowd didn't want this custom logo design as this has some old look but the old logo was good enough.
