Not very fond of it either.

they're still using the old pp logo as the icon for their smartphone app and on the header, they just don't have a lockup with the wordmark and the logo together, leading everyone to think that they went hardcore bland

This is the guy that lost his job to AI
https://youtu.be/7G7d6hSZCBw?si=dQmjdhp8fYMayFja
I can't believe I felt sorry for this guy... He literally like every civilian that shout "my kid could do this", not understanding what is the purpose of gd, that gd is NOT an art project, but a solution to a visual problem... I fucking hate these people man.. I hate graphic design because of this fact, because everyone thinks they know everything about it... and I was coping by thinking that oh its just people in the street that say shit like "my grandpa could do this", but now I see it's fucking graphic designers who studied this shit and who worked in the industry... God I'm so glad these fucks are going jobless thanks to AI... I felt sympathetic towards him until I read his Twitter and this guy and unfortunately many like him are the reason the profession is where it's at and why NOBODY does or would ever ever respect graphic design.. I hate them

I reckon all these blackrock corpos will change to darkmode websites to save the environment or some shit.

>>457531
You sound very feminine, yah he's an annoying faggot but you're really gay for caring about "respecting" graphic design.

>noo it must remain a knockoff visa mastercard logotype lettering from 2001 so that dying white boomers better associate it with a banking finance payment processing

but thankfully now they are thinking FORWARD and using 2020 big bold quirky geometric Something Gothic(TM) 70s font that the climate change environmentalism and social-justice aware oversized baggy 2001 poor-people-second-hand-handed-down-style-clothes wearing jivespeaking gen z-alpha tiktok phonescreen shitty 2D vector GUI with no depth-hierarchy-clues apps viewing teenz will automatically relate(TM) to!

wow, what a description. you must be really smart and funny, and get all the girls huh

>>457542
that's a stagnant corporate zombie definition of zoomers pretty much (i've ingested enough linkedin articles), which they try to appeal with tacky user-hostile designs

hip cool corporate REDESIGN nowadays is some ungodly randomized mixture of pic related and neon colors with 70s magazine headline type and "alegria" (it's still going) filler where people have nasty ill looking oversized limbs or stock photos of everyday "ethnic" people full of themselves (to make money sending service that'll withhold your transaction to a friend's new account for weeks due to automatic fraud detection look "human")

this is just a reserved version of it. i am not sure if anyone likes it or not, i doubt there is anyone out there saying "wow this is great i want to do web and advertising design too", it seems more like something that exists in no-feedback limbo of trying to do what others are doing

>>457544
my favorite is a flat gui design littered with icons and overlays where you straight up cant differentiate which elements are purely informational and which areas are interactive without reading the text and thinking about it and hovering the cursor and fiddling with it, but it's cool as it looks tacky and gay. that's progress.

LMAO, they had a custom typeface already, and they simply deleted it for this zero-personality, hundredth copy of geometric sans in a sea of everything looks the same.
>>457537
Nailed it. The current mental illness epidemic has fully seeped into the mainstream. Bad is good, and good is a rarity nowadays.

>>457545
i dare you to post some good designs

All of you retards - Post your zenith ideal of a website, logo/brand identity right now, or stfu...
You're getting on my damn nerves. Read the goddamn Pentagram project you complete imbeciles. God I hate this profession so much. Thank God for AI taking your useless positions ahhaahahhahaah

>>457553
nobody is talking about the web design you dense dog
>Thank God for AI taking your useless positions
web designers will be replaced before any other creative position

>>457554
retard I also said brand and logos/identitties you ficking piece of shit, learn to read, cunt

>>457553
I saw the presentation. What am I supposed to be getting from it. Why do you think the new identity is better. Tbh it looks like an excuse to slap black faces over everthing as per usual.

>>457558
for the 5th time – post your ideal example

>>457559
>>457558
Also cut if with the broad strokes – Be specific and exact with what you think is the problem with this solution

>>457554
>web designers will be replaced before any other creative position
2 more years!

Sovlless

>>457562
That things market share isn't great. The biggest hurdle to web designers has always been social media.

>>457559
Why are you so triggered by this? Any designer worth their salt should recognize bad/good design in an instance. You don't need a counter example to evaluate design quality. This is so superficial that it can easily be trained and replicated by AI. Furthermore, Pentagram is well-known for creating submediocre brandings. And with the current sociopolitical influences, design will become uglier and uglier (on purpose).

>>457585
LMMFAO that's a lot of words just to say "I can't".

Best part of AI is that it's the final step in completely ignoring self appointed blowhard critics whose o ly purpose and skill is to be contrarian and demoralize people who aren't afraid to show their work. Picrel is your real beef.

>>457588
I'm not that anon, I was just pointing out your immaturity as a designer. I still don't understand why you're so emotional about it, since I doubt you worked on it, so it doesn't make much sense to defend it like a simp. If you deny the fact that the redesign is worse than the old one, you are objectively a bad designer who can't take criticism as a constructive effort and starts screeching like a dumb leftard.

>>457592
stop replying to him, he shits up a bunch of threads on /gd/ and circle back to the retarded AI stuff every single time

>>457592
I'm not that other anon either, I was just pointing out your incompetence as a critic.

You are so shitty at it that you pretend that pointing it out =

>defending (PayPal logo) like a simp.

Which is retarded, what you keep DEFLECTING from is that when you say shit like

>the redesign is worse than the old one
and
>you are objectively a bad designer who can't take criticism

if you don't agree, you offer ZERO objective reasoning or evidence and just spew your SUBJECTIVE opinion and have offered ZERO real critique of the work, just insults based on the retarded premise that asking you for evidence beyond "because I said so, thats why, shur up" has something to do with design skills.

>screeching like a dumb leftard

LOFL, all you've got is bluster and name calling as MULTIPLE people call you out for saying nothing of value regarding WHY you think the redesign is bad, along with not knowing WTF " objective" even means.

You are a fraud and having it pointed out drives you insane.

>>457618
Malding this hard…
>You are a fraud and having it pointed out drives you insane.
The joke writes itself.
As already stated (the obvious), if you can't tell good from bad design, why are you still in the business?

good lord you guys are stupid idiots hahahaha

>>457621
>if you can't tell good from bad design

I'm not the one making qualitative claims about the design in question and then refusing to elaborate or provide examples of what I think is better

I've literally not said a word about that design one way or the other in this thread, just pointed out what a bloviating clown troll fraud you are.

You've done nothing to show that you can tell "good from bad design" ( or even define the criteria), just barked a lot and attributed posts and opinions to the wrong posters to create the strawman you argue against.

You *are* the joke.

>>457536
>>457541
You two are dumb. He is right, it looks like shit

>>457588
>reddit meme
opinion disregarded

>>457680
Yeah, because some 4chinz mouthbreather labeling things "Reddit" as if that ended all conversation is such a mark of advanced reasoning and valuable insight, especially when the thing being labelled didn't come from Reddit to begin with.

>>457682
mouthbreather is a funny insult

>>457682
he has a die dice with 4 sides, says seethe dilate sneed and reddit

>>457682
When even non-designers are raising their eyebrow at your redesign, questioning its validity, this means it's enough proof that you're a bad and lazy designer.

>>457688
lmao no it is not?!
you cant even make a design that everyvody likes. there will always be someone disliking it

>>457531
this is just the graphic design equivalent of modern art
the "i could have done this in 5 minutes" mantra that someone has over a painting that just looks like some guy splattered art at random

>>457950
>looks like some guy splattered art at random
which it is

mmm yes i love making everything look bland and shitty!!!!

>>457688
LOFL, no it doesn't.

If anything the fact that non artists are aware and talking about it just means it's doing exactly what a logo and especially a redesign and rollout is imtended to do.

Only someone completely ignorant of how this stuff works thinks that a new logo being an aesthetic improvement is the goal, or that people judging it as a "bad" redesign will create a net loss of customers or revenue for a company with massive market share in its space.

How many times do the retards on this board need to be told that logo design and re-design isn't about artistic ideals or seeking the approval of self appointed critics on aesthetic grounds?

>>457968
Okay buddy, you send out that rebranding proposal with the poop emoji as a logo. Wait for your promotion to land shortly after that. Surely, everyone will be talking about it, right(?)—since that's the unit of measure in design, and that's how you service a corporation's heritage, éllé-mayo. Scrub, you're underage and it shows.

>>458146
LMAO
>poop emoji as a logo

have a little self respect, there's no need to embarrass yourself with retarded babbling strawman arguments that have zero to do with what anyone actually said or proposed and just make you sound childish and stupid.

>be PayPal
> hold 40.52% of the global market share of the payment service segment
> so big your name is used as a verb for making online payments
> make minor visual change to corporate ID
> won't lose a significant amount of customers based on aesthetics, only self involved faggots care
> won't attract a bunch of new ones either but it doesn't really matter since you own near half of the global market already
> change causes corporate ID to be wailed about by silly wannabe critic faggots which makes the subject fresh in the minds of existing PayPal users and potential users, most of whom probably couldn't guess the name of PayPal's top competitor in a pop quiz but won't even look it up because PayPal instantly comes to mind if they need the service.
> maintain 40.52% of the global market share of the payment service segment for the cost of a minor redesign with virtually no risk
>repeat as necessary just like every other company with massive market share that tweaks their corporate ID slightly to trigger histrionics that get attention that helps maintain market share.

>>457950
its just the name of the brand in futura. except they made the kerning slightly tighter and call it "PayPal Pro"
it's not "simple to tell a story or evoke a feeling", it's just underdeveloped

Weirdos… all of you!
