Being Dutch, I associate the bevel with "American bad taste". Design is sacred here, logo design doubly so. This would be ridiculed.

- drstewart 13y agoSince when are bevels an American phenomenon? You know that bevel is a French word, right?
- darrhiggs 13y agoThe origin of a word has ZERO no relevance, how can it? May only French speaking countries be the places where the phenomenon of entrepreneurialism exists, with the phenomenon occurring only to smaller extents in other countries. Invention of a word does not give you the sole or even the greatest entitlement to its meaning.
- brownbat 13y agoGood question, where did the bevel originate? Who first beveled a 2D graphic? I can find lots of designers claiming they're out of fashion, but I can't find anyone with a history of the bevel... Can someone call Roman Mars?
- sfjailbird 13y agoAmerican product logos typically employ more effects, like swirls, gradients, shadows, perspective, highlighting, etc. than European counterparts. My personal opinion is that they usually look better and more inviting. But not in the case of this logo. Holy hell does this logo suck in all sorts of ways.
- umsm 13y agoThe logo does not guarantee success or failure. Lots of huge companies have horrid logos...
