- limedaring 16y agoIt feels a lot like they're grasping at straws — last ditch effort to make themselves "cool" again. But if the alternative is dying, probably the best thing they could have done to create buzz.
- gojomo 16y agoDoesn't it now seem like the Gap logo change was an intentional ploy to get attention for a drawn-out logo-change process, and thus was really clever?
- NathanKP 16y agoI agree that the logo is very nice. But unless it is to be accompanied by a complete redesign of the entire site and a general purging of junk ads, spammers, etc it won't be enough. MySpace's reputation and image is too tarnished for it to become hip again. The new logo looks like the logo of a cool new startup that would attract the hipsters looking for a space to make their own, but unfortunately MySpace isn't new, and it isn't considered cool either.

- Legion 16y agoI can't imagine there's anything that will fix MySpace. MySpace is proof that if you allow users to copy-paste in arbitrary CSS, they will use it to rebuild GeoCities.
- lovskogen 16y agoI can. Optimize the site for the most active users: musicians. They haven't leaved MySpace yet. Don't know exactly why, maybe it's a chicken and egg thing, since every artist is on MySpace.
- marclove 16y agoClever to the point of uselessness. It might get you points in a design class, but in the real world, it's a stupid move. Way to help further erase your already disappearing brand.
