mcrosby Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 It's not bad at all, but with such a recognizable brand, why is this necessary? https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsHockey Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 It's not bad at all, but with such a recognizable brand, why is this necessary?Exactly!I grew up on the old logo, but will the new logo go on the stores? Because the old one was so big a recognizable from a decent distant away.I think when I think of Best Buy, the big old yellow price tag will always come to mind. 98% of people claim to have "brought sexy back." Well, I'm the 2% that never left.Hometown HeroesDallas Stars- Brenden Morrow // Marty Turco // Loui ErikksonDallas Mavericks- Dirk Nowitzki // Jason Kidd // Jason TerryDallas Cowboys- Terrell Owens // DeMarcus Ware // Terence Newman // Felix JonesTexas Rangers- Ian Kinsler // Elvis Andrus // Marlon Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The old one says, "solid". The new one says, "Generic store". The new one looks like a grocery store chain. Very much a downgrade. Just because you can change, doesn't mean you should. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 The tag was definitely a recognizable sign. I wonder how it will look on store fronts and driveway signs. How can you replace this? How will this look with the new logo?By the way, signage replacement takes a long time... our Applebee's and Wal*Mart (Walmart*) still have the old logos on their large, exterior signs. Even at that, I doubt I'll see the new logo any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMU Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I could have mainly seen a font change to the current tag, maybe a blue border around it. The new logo does look more professional, yet at the same time, quite generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforbroke Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not sure if its been discussed, but a Circuit City near me has a sign that's the Circuit City logo but instead says "The City" with Circuit City under it. found this on Wikipedia:In 2007, new store formats include a 20,000 square foot store aimed to eliminate previously under-utilized space known as The City. All new store openings in 2008 will be in this new store format and significantly changes the experience traditionally found in Circuit City stores.

pcgd Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Not a bad upgrade but an unnessesary one.Is it just me or does it kinda look like one of those logos making fun of web 2.0 logos?HA! Best buy is actually in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Maybe they wanted to reduce their colors from 3 to 2 so they got rid of black completely.I think it's nice. It's one of those changes that just need some time to get used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 unnecessary, but i quite like it. looks much more professional.on a side note, i actually really dig that "web 2.0" abc logo. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you can change, doesn't mean you should.I think the old one says "tacky electronics store where you can haggle." The new one comes across as more professional and respectable.Not that I won't miss the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hmmmmmm.I don't hate the new logo, but it wasn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 The circuit city near me still has the previous logo on the store itself, but on the signs outside of the store it has the current logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed they put in AT&T's new logo as a web 2.0 logo in there. I find that funny for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Looks good in that application. We'll see how it looks on stand alone signage. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I'm okay with the new logo (mainly b/c I don't shop at Best Buy anymore so I don't have any sort of attachment to the old one), although I will admit it's less recognizable. Reminds me a lot of Walmart's redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneRaizer Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Dumb and unnecessary. The Best Buy tag was so recognizable. This new logo... well... isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
