“kiss me, I’m so pretty”
“Not every change is a change for the better” is especially valid in the logo design area.
And: Don’t they have real problems where they could have spent time and effort on instead?
I preferred the old one. Think it was clearer what it referred to for people not familiar with the logo.
I like the old one because I like the W3C, but when you see it you do get the impression that they were important in 1995 and probably haven’t done anything since.
I’m with you. I don’t love the new one, but it’s an improvement.
Yep. “Abstract” is not what you want for brand iconography.
I agree, though Nike would not
I disagree that the new one is too abstract. The w³ part is pretty pronounced, and then there’s design elements that reminds me of surfing.
No amount of trying has led to me seeing a w in that logo. Their design statement in the linked article specifically calls out that the logo is intentionally abstract.
I guess human perception is very subjective. To me the W3 is very obvious, but I have a hard time seeing a penis.
i can definitely see the 3 and also have a hard time seeing a penis, but whether i’ll see the w depends on the time of day
this is slightly vertically overstretched

Looks like a hanging nut-sack if you turn your head.

Looks like a penis looking back for a butt picture.
Double the TIL: W3C’s in charge of the ActivityPub standard
All I can see is two wailords humping eachother. Love is in the air.
Corkscrew penis
You see what you ‘want’ to see. =)
This comment sections is one of the weirder moments I’ve seen on Lemmy.
Reminds me of an old Warner bros logo
Experts in web technologies, but evidently not in graphic design.

Hahahahahah a turd with a fly landing on it
I like this one. Positive change in my opinion. :)
I’m reminded of laundry detergent for some reason.

The consortium clearly has too much money.
