They went from dominant upper case letters to wimp-bitch lower case letters. Why are corporations so dumb and out of touch? >_>

Is there a distinction between their corporate logo and the badging on their vehicles?

There's too much space in the middle. I know it's the same width, but the new letters are so limp compared to the old ones that it doesn't look weighted right. The colors invoke plastic, not metal and a GenZ or an elder could confuse the 'g' for a '9.'

And you're damn right it looks like an app. Blecch.

Right... the lowercase and everything make it look too cutesy. The old logo did need an update, but you can have a modern logo without looking like a social media startup. See Tesla for example.

Old logo looks better. It looks old, sure. But it also looks solid.

Yeah. They have no GM badged vehicles. Closest is their GMC brand.

Yeah, definitely. Just not really a good look.

Usually the vehicle badging is brand-based, like Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, etc. You'll probably find a little "GM" logo on things like VIN plates, owners manuals or stamping on the window glass, as well as on OEM replacement part boxes, but that's about it. Older cars used to have a little "GM" emblem on the driver's fender and on the seat belt buckle release button.

An elephant on a pallet, even. It's the only way to ship them.

I can see the comiitte agreeing that "we need to be more hip and in tune with the youngsters of today. Make it sleek, shiny, and in lowercase so people will think we're chill and laid back".

It looks like it wants to be the facebook font but GM has nothing to do with social media or technology.

Bland as shit. THey probably payed a designer thousands of dollars for this 20 minute photoshop job.
