CDCLT Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmccarthy27 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I wonder if this means we may see logo/wordmark changes to their brands. Also...

Well, given what I've learned of GM, they may just be stuck in the Web 2.0 mindset. 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpygremlin Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgundy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 GM's logo has always sucked, but now it sucks while chasing long-outdated trends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

sc49erfan15 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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