PhilliesPhan1325 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hadn't seen this posted anywhere, but Verizon has also rolled out a new logo. Gone are the big check and red Z.The new is on the right:It didn't take long for it to be criticized. T-Mobile's CEO @JohnLegere fired off a pretty strong tweet. "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT! THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL!" J M yoU wish you had a Duke Dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Downgrade. This barely qualifies as a logo... Should have kept the tilted red frame in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I thought it was fake when I first saw it. It looks like a logo you'd see on a Chinese counterfeit phone.The old logo wasn't great, but at least it looked like a logo. I'm sure Pentagram laughed all the way to the bank for their work on this.

BBTV Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Well the check looks more like a V, which is probably what they were going for, but I'm not sure how well it will work in stand-alone applications.It does provide them with some flexibility that wasn't there before, since they couldn't really use the old V in any other application.

Should have made the V a check mark. Its a simple solution that retains a bit of the old mnemonic device of the red Z GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm very surprised they didn't turn the leading "v" into a checkmark, while keeping the implied underline of the "z."

As is, it looks like you are trying to determine the square root of erizon.

I'll hold off until I see how they might use the check/V in advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was never a fan of the old logo, but man did they whiff on this one. As has been said, if the V were a check mark this would work much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If they wanted simple, why not try this instead? Or they can leave the Z in black and make the first letter red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yesterday thinking about the google change I was thinking about what companies actually really needed to change their logo, and verizon was one of them.But yeesh, this is horrible looking,just really really bad, when the old one, which was bad with its fade out gradient (which never transferred to signs), is better still, you have a problem.Man the other company I was thinking of was Burger King lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Saw this on tumblr and thought it was light years better http://michael-danger.tumblr.com/image/128332033017That's really good. And not to mention it sets up the "v" for nice usage as a partial logo, such as in a favicon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
