People Are Still Doing Double-Takes At These Terrible Redesigned Logos

Next up is Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P), whose logo redesign was largely unnecessary and a failure for the most part on top of that. The update to the name itself was not terrible, with a more striking blue color replacing the darker blue found in the original. However, the updated font and lowercase makeover is extremely generic looking. Even worse, the P logo was transformed into a giant blob that mimicked Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL)’s logo transformation, from a more clearly defined P to the mere broad outline of a P (and a rather hefty P at that). The company’s branding to go along with the updated logo also hearkened back to the MTV days, making the whole thing feel like a step back into nostalgia rather than a step forward into the future.
