Well, it does seem silly, but logos are a huge part of branding, so it's conceivable that the change can have financial repercussions down the road.

Personally, I think it's kinda ugly. But it's sort of reminiscent of the "old school" Gap logo, with the low, rounded letters that the company used before the blue-and-white logo came along in the late 80s or whenever.

Financial repercussions? Seriously? That's nuts. It's just a logo, it's nothing to do with the merchandise they're selling. To me, that should be what's important, the quality of their product, not what their name looks like.

BTW, while I'm speaking to you, did you see this picture of the Giovanni Boldini painting? It's lovely.

So all the marketing profs here tell me, because a couple of them were discussing it yesterday. The first thing you see is the logo, in a lot of cases, and based on its attractiveness, you're more influenced than you probably think to look further.

OMG! That dress is off the hook. I love it!!

Hmm, that's a point.

Isn't that dress beautiful? I love the flow of it and the sleeves, plus the color is gorgeous.

it's gorgeous. I saw it on Jen's lj yesterday. Really went with the apartment, don't you think? What a romantic story...

It did, it fit the apartment perfectly.

Here's another thought: If it's true Gap is losing money, this is a lovely way to get their company in the news, and on consumers' minds, isn't it? It's not like their logo actually needed changing, you know?

That could *absolutely* be, a marketing stunt, since there really was nothing dated about the old logo. However, good criminy's sake, you'd think they'd have come up with something more stylish. The font isn't my favorite, but it's the blue square that's puzzling me. Why? Why the blue square?

Perhaps the blue square is all that survived of the old logo. It's the same color, isn't it? :)

no, I don't think she was a hooker... *chuckles wildly n runs*

I liked it as it was. The tall slim letters in the center of the dark blue square. Why change a perfectly recognizable logo?? Is it a publicity stunt I wonder? Were sales low? I like to shop there, no matter how rarely I go shopping. GAP is my jeans n tops store. I wear 1969's hee... never mind... It's late and suddenly this sounded funny. Blame it on the sexy spread I just viewed on the PG! :)

Oh no! Does this make my most comfortable baggy hoodie out-of-date??

Nah, just the tag on the inside of the collar. :)

haha, yeah internet people get worked up pretty easily!

i like this comment though:
