What do I think? I think someone needs to get fired.

It's funny because of who is responsible.

the partner app makes no fucking sense at all.... oh well... stupid ass Uber

Since when do Djinn play golf?



On topic:
To quote Crazy Earl: "Holee shit! Somebody paid for that."

 

[Sheep]

it's actually the CEO's design

Because that worked so well for Marissa Mayer who had significant input on Yahoo's new logo that looks as bland as a logo could possibly be.

 

[FeuerFrei]

THe new one has no meaning, unless it's meant to depict some magic wand blowing the hide off a basketball.

The original was all collegiate but definitely related to the company.

So, what's Marissa Mayer's claim to Yahoo's success? Aside from building a nursery in her office, of course.

Still running with a 3 month driver turnover?

To be fair, it didn't go bankrupt on her watch... that's something?

So, this is Uber's new logo:
*snip*

What do you think? It looks more like a tech company logo than a taxi service.

They ARE a tech firm and not a taxi service. The users are the people buying and selling ride services. That's the whole point. It's like eBay or Craigslist where they provide the match-making platform, payment, and feedback mechanism. They are a middleman transactional technology company.

You sound like an Uber executive.

So, this is Uber's new logo:

Maybe it's just me, but I think that Uber should actually HAVE a fleet of self driving cars before trying to make themselves look like a big shot tech firm.

Google wants to do this, but California, being the nanny state they are doesn't like it and of course wants to regulate self-driving cars.

Cal just wants people able to take over if necessary; the Google Car has a human driver not just because it has to by law, but also because it would have crashed many times if it wasn't saved by its human driver.

Buy Uber stock, blockhead.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

here is a good logo.

I like their mural better.

 

[Skeeedunt]

Well, the original logo was a 'U', kind of like the first letter in Uber. The new logo is a backwards 'c', with a square, kind of like nothing. So pretty great IMO.

they are going to be dead once autonomous vehicles hit the road.

Yeah they're megafucked in like 20-75 years why bother.

Craigslist isn't trying to convince people that they have a 50 billion dollar company valuation, though

...and the closest thing they have to a logo is a hippy peace sign.

da fuq have they done?
New logo is D:

It would be awesome if D: was literally their new logo.

How fun is it to invent a technology platform that lets the poors whore themselves out to give rides to you and your tech startup bros for slave wages?

I assume you are OK with how today's cars are already regulated--so why is it specifically "nannying" to suggest that driver-less cars should be regulated...in whatever way you define regulation?

I think that has nothing to do with her, but Alibaba's IPO, which was worked on since before she was born.

And forbidding all the other parents who couldn't build nurseries in their offices from working remotely.

Why don't you send Google an E-mail or Fax and ask them why they don't approve of the regulations California wants to place on driverless cars?
