New GM Logo

With its focus on electric vehicles, GM redesigns its logo and replaces it with more electric friendly one.

What do you think? The electric car wave is coming at us fast

Not a fan of the new logo. They're not even capitalizing initials anymore?

That's like bmw, tvr and fiat

The gradient coloring looks straight up odd.

It's very dated looking, looks like something from the 90s.

Kia did a much better job with their logo change.

Stop with the fucking gradients already. It looks like crap and brutal to reproduce on different products and platforms.

Looks like something "The General" had his niece in design school execute.

The freep didn't do a fantastic job reporting on this.

Other sources were careful to point out that the logo has two other color variants - solid blue and solid black in addition to blue and aqua one. Reportedly, the solid blue one will be most frequently used.

It just looks dated and also childish/cartoonish, like a logo for a kids show or brand or something.

Also lowercase letters make absolutely no sense on a corporate logo.

Agree with the folks here not looking very good, which makes me wonder what happened to good car designers 🤔 where have they gone

All they had to do was just keep it the same design, but the single light blue color.
