Me? I&#8217;m a logo nerd, so instead of self reflection, I like to look back and think about which brands have changed. Some of the biggest brands in the world updated their logos this year and as always, the reviews are pretty mixed. Let&#8217;s take a look.<br \/>\nBe sure to check out our list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/the-7-best-and-worst-logo-redesigns-of-2014\">best and worst logo redesigns from 2014<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_CareerBuilder\"><\/span>1. CareerBuilder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nLet&#8217;s start this off with a bang. CareerBuilder might win the prize for the most universally hated new logo of 2015. Their old logo was a fairly simple, condensed wordmark with a nice color scheme. By contrast, their new logo is somewhat of a mess of colors, icons, typography styles and conflicting ideas.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/10\/09045751\/WorstLogos2015-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"logos\" width=\"680\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14943\">\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactions\"><\/span>Reactions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nA poll on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.underconsideration.com\/brandnew\/archives\/new_logo_for_careerbuilder_done_inhouse.php#.VgV3pa-hZtY\">UnderConsideration<\/a> allowed respondents to vote on whether the new logo was &#8220;Great,&#8221; &#8220;Fine,&#8221; or &#8220;Bad.&#8221; 93% voted &#8220;Bad&#8221; for the icon and 89% voted &#8220;Bad&#8221; for the wordmark (each question had just under 900 votes total).

The list of things that <a href=\"http:\/\/stephaniegaspary.com\/index.php\/portfolio\/careerbuilder-global-rebrand\/\">the logo is meant to represent<\/a> is pretty long:\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The matching of the right talent with the right opportunity<\/li>\n<li>Actionable intelligence and customized insights<\/li>\n<li>The smooth flow of data between systems and platforms<\/li>\n<li>Boldness<\/li>\n<li>Motivating<\/li>\n<li>Dependable<\/li>\n<li>Trustworthy<\/li>\n<li>Professional<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The mark is intended to flip to emphasize the &acirc;&euro;&tilde;T&acirc;&euro;&trade; when referring to CareerBuilder&acirc;&euro;&trade;s pre-hire platform components, Talentstream Technologies.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\nThe creative director on the project even alludes to this idea of too much complexity in her post on the logo: <em>&#8220;Yes, this is a lot to include in a single logo. The project constraints, however, called for this level of complexity, requiring key inspirations be equally represented to highlight the company&acirc;&euro;&trade;s transformation.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Translation:<\/strong> the people in charge wanted too much from one logo.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Verizon\"><\/span>2. Verizon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\nVerizon&#8217;s logo redesign is kind of the opposite of CareerBuilder&#8217;s. It&#8217;s a prime example of a strong trend that you&#8217;ll see throughout this post and across many top brands. Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/8-major-brand-logos-that-went-flat-in-2014\">logo design went flat<\/a>. This year, designers are going much further than killing gradients and shadows, they&#8217;re killing everything. Graphics? Out. Serifs? Who needs &#8217;em? Helvetica Bold? Yes please.<br \/>\nVerizon&#8217;s original logo was pretty dynamic. The italics and zooming red lines gave it a sense of motion and excitement. The new one is pretty plain by comparison, which isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/10\/09045755\/WorstLogos2015-2.jpg.webp\" alt=\"logos\" width=\"680\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14943\"><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve actually always hated the original and definitely agree that it needed an update. When I look at the new one though, it&#8217;s hard to fight that sense of being disappointed in something so generic (even though that&#8217;s probably exactly what they need).\n <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactions-2\"><\/span>Reactions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nReactions were a bit mixed for this one with plenty of people chiming in on all sides.

I&#8217;m not sure any logo redesign in history has received as much press, social media coverage, and debate as Google&#8217;s recent overhaul. Here again we see the &#8220;undesign&#8221; trend going strong.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/10\/09045759\/WorstLogos2015-3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"logos\" width=\"680\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14943\"><br \/>\nPersonally, I&#8217;m a bit sad to see those serifs go and I&#8217;m always hesitant to praise any logo design that feels like someone opened Photoshop, picked a font, typed a word, and called it a day. That being said, this new logo grew on me pretty quickly and I&#8217;m confident that in five years I&#8217;ll look back and think the old version looks dated and awful.<br \/>\nIf anyone can argue that they need a simple, timeless, sans-serif wordmark, I think it&#8217;s the company that is known for bringing the Internet to the world as a bunch of plain text results on a white page. The new logo is clean and straightforward, with just a little playful disrespect (that&#8217;s the part that&#8217;s driving typography designers nuts). Now that it&#8217;s had some time so sit with me, I really think it nearly perfectly embodies Google as a company.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactions-3\"><\/span>Reactions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nMedium has definitely become the place for thoughtful design posts and critiques, and its faithful users have been cranking out Google logo reviews at full blast.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@gerryleonidas\/all-trousers-no-legs-f866240c0b4b\">Gerry Leonidas<\/a><\/strong>: <em>&#8220;That the logo went from a flawed but characterful modulated style all the way to a geometric sans suggests that the branding agency had neither good ideas, nor typographic expertise.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@Simon_Darby\/why-google-irritates-you-2161374a2105\">Simon Darby<\/a><\/strong><em>: &#8220;I think I speak for most of the world, when I say the new logo is out of balance by just one character.

The old logo has a nice, compact badge quality to it with a retro vibe that&#8217;s attractive without feeling ancient. Conceptually, it&#8217;s pretty simple: a flying basketball with some text over it.<br \/>\nBy contrast, the new logo has quite a few things going on. In addition to the super condensed and slightly distorted Clippers text, there&#8217;s the basketball with the &#8220;LAC&#8221; in it. The big lines under the ball give it a sense of motion, like it&#8217;s bouncing. But it&#8217;s not just a bouncing basketball, it&#8217;s also cleverly styled to look like a basketball court.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/10\/09045820\/WorstLogos2015-5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"logos\" width=\"680\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14943\"><br \/>\nI actually really like all the ideas behind the various pieces new logo without necessarily loving the end result as a whole.

From my perspective, these logos are almost always dreadful (remember that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidairey.com\/london-2012-olympic-logo-disaster\/\">London 2012 mess<\/a>?). For this reason, when I saw the Tokyo 2020 logo, I was pleasantly surprised. The modern art vibe won me over instantly. The shape is all at once reminiscent of a &#8220;T&#8221;, a &#8220;2&#8221;, and with the circle, a &#8220;0&#8221; (Tokyo 2020, get it?). I thought it was beautiful.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, Th&Atilde;&copy;&Atilde;&cent;tre de Li&Atilde;&uml;ge in Belgium also loved the unique shape&#8230; when they put it in their logo years before.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2015\/10\/09045826\/WorstLogos2015-7.jpg.webp\" alt=\"logos\" width=\"680\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14943\"><br \/>\n It&#8217;s tricky to say whether we&#8217;re seeing inspiration, coincidence, or outright plagiarism. The obvious similarities are striking though, and that caused quite the uproar in the design community. It quickly led to a lawsuit and a complete scrapping of the Olympic logo.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactions-8\"><\/span>Reactions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How horrific is the design of Tokyo&#8217;s Olympic logo? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/wtf?src=hash\">#wtf<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/U9isib9n3u\">http:\/\/t.co\/U9isib9n3u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&acirc;&euro;&rdquo; Core77 (@core77) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/core77\/status\/626843926771531776\">July 30, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s my favourite time of the year &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Olympic?src=hash\">#Olympic<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/logo?src=hash\">#logo<\/a> unveiling time!
