In 2014, Visa removed the yellow wing from its logo and made it even more corporate blue.
One of those rebrands that probably cost serious money, while 99% of people still went: “wait, it changed?”

In 2019, Warner Bros. brought in Pentagram for a rebrand.
According to polling, only 11% picked the new version. After the Discovery merger, the logo moved back toward the old shield.

Between 2012 and 2018, fashion brands suddenly decided that heritage was the problem.
Vintage marks, founder names, weird old details. All gone.

Everything had to become a clean, corporate, generic, ALL CAPS logo.

Does anyone know what the hell that was?

KFC has quietly refreshed its branding.
Colonel Sanders apparently got promoted in the demonic hierarchy and grew wings. Or claws.
Oh, and they updated the typography too.

Apple finally separated alarm volume from notification volume in iOS 27 beta 1.

Sony Ericsson is kinda making a mighty comeback

Better, boring, or just fine-tuning?

Xbox is going transparent again for its 25th anniversary.
Win or nostalgia bait?

Hard to believe, but Apple had its own game console.

It was called Pippin, made with Bandai, and it was basically a Mac-based multimedia box for the living room: games, CD-ROMs, internet access, and a $599 price tag.

Around 42,000 units were sold.

Ok, maybe now at least someone will actually use MS Copilot?

Baby on Board became popular in the mid-1980s as a product from the child safety brand Safety 1st.

It probably didn’t make anyone drive more carefully, but it quickly spread and turned from a boring sign into a weird competition in creativity.

Did your family have one?

How do you like the new Ferrari Luce?

The Michelin Man started as a stack of tires.

In 1894, Edouard Michelin saw a tire pile in Lyon and imagined it with arms.

In 1898, O’Galop turned it into Bibendum: a tire-bodied gentleman drinking nails and glass, because Michelin tires could “drink the obstacle.”

IKEA opened in Brighton and put the local seagull problem directly on the furniture.
Sometimes letting your product get shit on is the campaign.
