The New Brown

UPS has unveiled a new logo. The new logo replaced the original Paul Rand designed logo.

My first thoughts of the new logo are not very positive, including:


  1. It doesn't say anything about what UPS does. The old logo included a wrapped parcel which said something about their business
  2. It seems too trendy, with the bevel and all. Looks like web site navigation from Gateway, Citysearch, etc. This look may work for a web site that will most likely last a year or two before being redesigned, but does will it have much of a shelf life? The old logo has lasted 40 years? What will we think about this one in 5?
