New logos for Web 2.0

Some prac­ti­cal joker found the time to redesign well-known logos accord­ing to Web 2.0 fash­ion: gra­da­tions, reflec­tions below, bright colours. Seen on flickr, where else. The very com­pressed jpeg below doesn’t show the effect prop­erly.

I’m not try­ing to be crit­i­cal I just noticed at a quick glance, he didn’t redesign the FedEx logo with the ‘EX’ being ‘Ex,’ giv­ing it the arrow in the neg­a­tive space, (which is what I like about this logo) or did he use Uni­verse 65 Bold as in the original.

I think this is a neat exercise.

The orig­i­nal is Futura, not Univers. But this is just a spoof and not sup­posed to be 100% cor­rect. It makes its point nevertheless.

It is an inter­est­ing col­lec­tion. One note: These were designed by a vari­ety of people.

The four that I redesigned (West­ing­house, United, IBM and ABC), weren’t as much of a Web 2.0 state­ment but a state­ment about the cheap tricks the major brand­ing firms are apply­ing to clas­sic Rand and Bass logos.

Yes, that comes across. The trou­ble is that a lot of the Web 2.0 design­ers (who usu­ally aren’t), use the same cheap tricks.

Just noticed that the com­ments don’t sup­port html tags, so I had to edit some com­ments. I’ll try and get that fixed.

These were done by a bunch of design­ers over at yayhooray.com. We/They were look­ing for a way to kill time and were sick of see­ing yet another redesign for a com­pany giv­ing into cheap trends.

Don’t let their mar­ket­ing depart­ments see these. They will love them.
