uber redesigned their icon for some drat reason and its absolutely insane, not in a good way



let's not make our new logo easy to understand for regular users, because that would be too easy. it's good and funner to make it some curved rear end piece of poo poo.

Shedding some light on the matter, a recent Wired article took a deep dive into the design considerations that shaped Uber’s new app icon. And interestingly enough, CEO Travis Kalanick was heavily involved in the entire process. And oh yeah, did we mention that Kalanick has absolutely no design chops to speak of?

this is keystone cops bullshit for a huge company

it owns in places like detroit where there's zero public transportation and no taxi service to speak of.

i cant count how many times i drove home when i shouldn't have because calling a taxi service would get the "it'll be 2 hours" and then i'd wait 30 minutes then just drive home

uber must be burning through cash hard here in china. they keep doing promotions where its literally the cheapest possible transportation option, cheaper than the bus or the subway or paying to sit on the back of a guy's moped. my friends were going to and from work for literally 20 cents each way for a while.

uber is good for cities that have no/lovely taxi services. but uber in nyc sounds ridiculous because you can fall into the street and 3 taxis will be there already

that being said, it helped me out in New Haven, CT and just outside of Hartford.

At least when you're a cj your ceo doesn't normally know enough to have an opinion on your implementation. It must be tough being a designer.

this is going to be the worst rebranding attempt of 2016, but this is only because logitech already went logi in 2015 without anyone (including themselves) noticing

i mean ffs at least change your website from https://www.logitech.com to https://www.logi.com and remake your logo, for which "we rewrote 'logitech' in a new font after six months" doesn't qualify if you're now called "logi"
