New Askville logo

Less than 24 hours after my blog post, Amazon changes the Askville logo. ‘Nuf said?

Looks like someone in legal sent someone a terse email.

Pity others didn’t read enough of the first post to understand that you were remarking on the similarity rather than claiming being ripped off.

Of course it’s not nearly as good. The type and shadow is a step back.

FYI I emailed Jeff about the logo the day it came out, asked that they change it due to similarities to Eventful’s, and a little while later it got changed. Coincidence? Don’t know.

Cool, Brian. I’m glad you did.
I guess we’ll never the details behind the change, but it was smart of them to fix it.
Amazon should definitely reboot its design language for spinoff projects. IMHO, once you get beyond the main website, their branding gets confusing.

It is such a useful resource that you are providing and you’re giving it away free of charge. I appreciate discovering web sites that recognize the importance of supplying a helpful resource for no cost. I definitely loved reading through your article :) Thank you!
