Oh God. The logo looks like it took XTREEM pills, and the BS in the application video sounds like someone read the Cluetrain Manifesto and learned absolutely nothing from it.

Yahoo! will be introducing a new logo on September 4 and between now and then it will cycle through 30 different logos before unveiling the new one. More info at the link. Nice PR gimmick.
It's a cute idea, I guess, but it seems like you're defeating the purpose if you're showing us all your logos there in the video.

Part of it is the lack of a texture, as you would expect from actual watercolor on paper, so at large sizes the smoothness makes it obvious it's a computer-generated gradient.

It would be hilarious if somebody vectored up Lorimar's "Lp" logo for the end credits (I don't think that the "Lp" looks particularly like those letters, but still)

Ok, so I'm not the only one who noticed the off-kilter CW logo
I wonder how much longer The CW as a broadcast network will stick around

It serves as a loss leader for its shows...which is kind of odd, as they're not there to sell anything except DVD sets (unless you consider Arrow a comic book commercial)...
CBS would do well to buy the Hallmark Channel, or Reelz, or something, and replace it with the CW. I doubt too many cord-cutters will miss it anyway (though my mother watches Arrow).

Anyway, I do like the redesign. The removal of the apostrophe doesn't bother me so much as it is just an "oh hey, that's not there anymore", you know? Same thing with the lowercase i in FRiDAY'S (though now that I think about it, that was definitely more in place in 2004 than it is in 2013).

^^ That whole exchange was hilarious, somehow.
^ The lowercase i always seemed out of place, as it if was an attempt to give "character" to the logo after they'd made it more generic and corporate.
I don't know why the removal of the apostrophe bothers me, because it doesn't even make much sense as a possessive, but for some reason it does.

...On that note, I looked at the new logo and thought "The new chicken looks more concerned than his predecessor. Could it be that it understands that gay people may eat at his establishment? That it may be cooked, killed, then eaten by a homosexual? And it's perhaps contemplating this new reality of the modern world and is moderately uncomfortable?"
Sorry logo chicken, you'll have to live (or die) with the fact that we can't always chose the sexual preference of those that eat us.

That works, too. I mean it's obvious the chicken is now concerned about SOMETHING. It could be that it had to make the hard chose between its values and a paycheck. And it now sits on the logo, unsure if it made the right choice.
I remember thinking that logo was outdated even in the mid-to-late 1980s, when I first saw it. That mall opened in September 1981, and the logo obviously hasn't been changed since...it kind of reminds me of "ABC Is The Place". :P

Oh, wow, that's a nice little unintentional throwback there
Also it amuses me how the wordmark in the photo doesn't match the one in the other graphics

Heh.
High schools with stolen sports logos seems to be a pretty common thing...my brother's high school uses a blatantly copied Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets logo.

In America, it seems like thrift stores are just kinda...there. Like, they'll have "MEN's SHiRTS" written on a piece of cardboard and nobody cares because it serves its purpose.
Oh hey, this episode of Too Cute just used the MTM meow in the opening credits. :o
Also, regarding thrift stores, Goodwill does a pretty good job of decorating their stores, though I can see small independent shops not trying as hard.

Ah, that's true, Goodwill does seem to do pretty well with it; they've even updated the one nearest me sometime recently.
The other big chains around here (Volunteers of America, Salvation Army, Ohio Thrift) all seem to care a bit less, though.
Neither of these have supplanted any flags or been used by anyone but the governments (though the state government intends on licensing the Colorado logo out to state businesses)

As far as government/tourism logos go, Colorado's actually seems pretty nice. It's simple, it conveys an association that's easily recognizable (Colorado = mountains), and it doesn't have the sort of garishness I associate with tourism logos.
Re: YouTube: It's the wordmark there that bothers me more than anything else. It's so generic it hurts.
(Also, I noticed a while back that the play-button icon has replaced the traditional YouTube logo as the icon for the official Android app)
As someone who's never lived in Colorado, I think the new logo looks quite nice.
The new Youtube logo is not perfect, but definitely an improvement over the old one. Pity they're muddying the water rather than just switching over completely.
What annoys me about the new logo is the width of the wordmark. It's just a little bit wider than the play button above it—which makes it look like they were trying to make them the same width and failed. If the wordmark were obviously wider than the play button, I wouldn't think anything of it.
