Famous buy and sell website decided to
change its logo after 17 years. So what is with the new look? In seventeen
years, a lot has changed indeed fro eBay especially on the internet and on how
technology changes our once simple lives. Innovation is the magic word. If you don’t
know the game, better yet hire a brilliant lawyer or all else you’ll end up
paying billions of dollars for copycat ideas.
Sounds familiar, right? eBay
finally decided to somehow get a new look for its aged logo as they embark new
and creative ways to buy and sell which could be part of its company’s innovative
plans.
It carries the same colors but minus the
overlapping effect. It’s pretty clean and straight, don’t you think? Devin
Wenig, eBay President, said on its announcement, “The time felt right. We’re
incredibly proud of how eBay started and quickly grew into the world’s largest
online marketplace.”
So after 17 years in the business, a clean
trim is what eBay call a refreshing look. Oh well, it’s not just them who
prefers clean edges. Microsoft got one too. It took them twenty-five years to finally decide
for a trimmed logo. But if we try to look at it closer and deeper though, straight
edges, clean looking logo implies that they are bold enough to settle for
simplicity when quirkiness is considered catchy and stylish these days.
And if in case you missed it, search giant
Google also recently changed their favicon or that tiny bookmark icon on top to
all blue. Once again, it opted for a single color to project its letter “g” seamlessly.
See? Changing logos is viral these days.
Who do you think is next in line? Stay tune.
