opinion/notes

When a company is described as being in the "global information services" business you know you can expect a logo that is supposed to mean something deep and thoughtful but ultimately it's just "connectivity", because people. The old logo had a bunch of squares on a grid making a larger square but connected through the grid they sat in. Empty-ish but corporate enough and with a serious-looking wordmark. The new logo falls for the let's-make-our-logo-friendlier trap and ends up with a highly meaningless set of rounded-corner squares that say nothing about anything. It's not a terrible logo because at least there is some relative harmony to it and it still conveys connectivity and perhaps even now diversity. The wordmark makes the company look way smaller than it is, like a friendly regional bank. Why the "x" is so condensed, I don't understand. Overall, a bad case of the Friendlies.
