“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.
Experts in web technologies, but evidently not in graphic design.
looks like shit. i mean literally
Hahahahahah a turd with a fly landing on it
Reminds me of an old Warner bros logo
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.
