Thats amazing. Its in the uncanny valley where I can't tell if they're serious or if they're having a laugh.

It immediately makes me think of the song "Redesign Your Logo" by Lemon Demon. Pure comedy.



That song is directly inspired by the Pepsi nonsense; the lyrics and backing video [1] have some direct quotes. Definitely the first thing that comes to mind each time a multi-billion company decides to change their logo and nobody likes it.

It recalls to mind Don Quixote. Is it madness or genius? In the case of great art; who can rightly say.

It is clear they worked hard for their salary.


"Redesign Your Logo" was actually directly inspired by this exact brand redesign document, so your instinct is well-founded! Here's a transcript of the official Spirit Phone commentary track where Neil mentions it:

(i think it was also released as a joke, then everyone took it seriously)
