Photoshop’s New Logo
Since the last rebranding of Adobe’s design suite has been nine months ago (remember the Periodic Table o’ Elements?), apparently it’s time for another new logo, this time for the Photoshop “family” of applications.
Opinions? Well, apparenty it represents a P. At least according to John Nack, who also has more details on the whole rebranding thing. It’s a speech bubble. Yes, another one. Welcome to the bandwagon! And it’s in 3D with glossy finish, practically screaming “photoshop filters!”. Where’s the lens flare?
Anyway, while the logo might not please everybody (judging from a lot of not so nice comments on John’s post), at least it seems Adobe has finally rediscovered Photoshop as a valuable brand.
Changing your Brand Name: “Googe”?
Google’s homepage was today displaying a Valentine’s Day themed logo, unfortunately missing the “L” in Google. “Googe”? Now that sounds nasty…
People on reddit, digg and various blogs have discussed it. It was posted to flickr. Yet noone seemed to get the hint.
Well, at least some should have heard of Barnabe Googe, an English poet of the 16th century. He is famous especially for his line “I did but see her passing by, and yet I love her till I die”.
Others might know the Irish-British rock band “My Bloody Valentine”, which might be a more direct reference since their lineup also included bassist Debbie Googe in their early days.
So no, Google did not drop the “L”.
