QCS 2,631 Posted January 8 Personally not a fan, I'm really surprised to see a gradient in this day and age. I thought the previous logo was really strong and didn't need any changes. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmccarthy27 305 Posted January 8 I wonder if this means we may see logo/wordmark changes to their brands. Also...

GM seems to be consistently behind the times in nearly all areas, going back to the '70s. Look at their post-1973 Arab Oil Embargo attempt to create a "small, affordable car." 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stumpygremlin 471 Posted January 8 GM redesigns corporate logo as it focuses on electric vehicles (cnbc.com) Per this CNBC link, the logo can also be flat-colored, without the gradient 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burgundy 2,116 Posted January 8 GM's logo has always sucked, but now it sucks while chasing long-outdated trends. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very much not a fan of this. Should have at least kept it white lettering on blue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sc49erfan15 2,374 Posted January 9 It's not like the old logo was good, but it was simple enough, pretty boring, and you really didn't think about it because it didn't actually appear on cars. (At least I don't remember it being on cars.) This is awful. Without the gradient, it's passable. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 20,227 Posted January 9 I think it makes sense given where the company is heading. It's not like it appears on actual cars. I prefer the "tougher" current logo, but this does make sense. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, it wasn't a badge in the traditional sense but for some reason I remember the logo from childhood appearing on the seatbelt button of every GM car we ever owned. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It already looks dated and it's obviously gonna age like milk. The old logo was timeless 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
