    Some good discussion about this trend on HN:

      Better:

      • Revolut (though a fintech company named after a revolution lacking the charge at the end is still moronic in several ways)
      • airbnb (from awful to meh)
      • Spotify (same)

      Worse:

      • Pinterest (original fit the platform and what it is/was pretty much perfectly. Current is meh)
      • eBay (both are bad IMO, but at least the original was bad in a playful and eye-catching way. The new one is just more meh
      • Burberry (the stag was notable and signalled a history of old-fashioned quality that’s suitably rugged. The new one is meh AND insecure about people knowing which London they’re from)
      • Rimova (yet another fashion brand apparently afraid of being noticed
      • DF (from one of the best and most fashion-appropriate logos to an absolute eyesore and kerning nightmare that invites vandalism)
      • Jaguar (From absolutely iconic and great in every way to even uglier than the new DF one. I hope whomever came up with that got both fired and beaten and I’m a pacifist.)

      The rest just go from meh to slightly different meh 🤷

      Those old fashion logos are actually sick. Concerning that an industry that sells style would make these their logos.

      All these minimalist labels save .0005¢ every time they’re printed, probably even more on promo booths, banners, and the like.

        I see this, since half of the letters appear to be uppercase, and the other half lowercase:

    I fucking hate this minimalist design trend more than it is probably reasonable to hate an aesthetic. It’s got the personality of unfinished drywall.

    source
    • Zink@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Honestly I think unfinished drywall has more personality. It’s utilitarian and rough around the edges, without the shiny surface veneer.

      That new Jaguar logo is like somebody took a beautiful old house full of exposed brick and wood work and put a coating of white paint over everything.

      • mister_flibble@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Even if that’s what’s going on (or at least that assumption on the part of the design team is what’s going on), this is shit. You know what requires even less reading than script OR basic print? THE FUCKING PICTURE OF THE FUCKING JUNGLE CAT.

      • Asidonhopo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s what it is, isn’t it. Retirement in their design department, new hires and this is a Millenial message marketing to Gen Zers (and Alphas too, automotive preference starts early)

  • FauxPseudo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I would have failed every design class I took in college if I submitted that. Why such wide kerning? Why lower case but upper G? Why so round? Why so completely unreadable at a distance because of micro serifs? There isn’t one good design element in this.

    source
    • nepenthes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It doesn’t say “car” at all either; no elegance or prestige. It looks like a logo for bottled water or something.

      I think they want people to focus on the “agua” and the j and r are just little accents on it like its word art rather than a logo. Like, I literally picture the marketing weirdos at the meeting going off like this.

      source
      • FauxPseudo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The “a” is the worst part for me. You can’t see those little stubbs at a distance. So it reads JoGuor at a distance. They didn’t just fail to create a good logo, they failed to preserve the name. One bit of advice I always give is “imagine this logo on the back of a golf card or a Pride brochure. If the logo isn’t crisp and readable in black and white in a 1/2 inch square then it sucks.” This design fails that test. Not just because of the messed up “a” but the wide spacing makes those unreadable "a"s even smaller than if the letters weren’t so widely spaced.

  • deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.

        It’s still a prestige brand in the eyes of the masses. It might not be as good t brag about den at the country club but letting the plebs know that you can afford a car that costs more than their house still has value.

        It more that there’s a grift happening. What’s the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It’s a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

    J a G U a r is just their new typeface (I think that’s the name?); and apparently/allegedly is to make the pronunciation closer to UK English, rather than American.
