Thanks, I…don’t hate it
I have ranted on here multiple times about companies changing their logos for no goddamn reason. My Google one is probably the most…passionate.
(Edit: when searching my blog for this post, I realized I’ve ranted about Google’s logo multiple times. Why? BECAUSE THEY KEEP CHANGING IT LSFJDSLKDFJSLKF)
Anyway.
I saw an article on CNN titled “Jell-O’s new look emphasizes its ‘jiggly goodness’” and I was like aw hell, here we go.
BUT…
Looky:

I’m…I’m not mad about that. It’s more simplified than the previous logo, which is a really crappy trend that’s been removing recognizable features from famous logos/symbols for a while now, but I think it actually works here. I’m not sensing ‘jiggly goodness’ anymore than I did with the original logo (I guess the lemon and lime are WIGGLY BITCHES in the new one), but I think it looks more retro and more “summery,” which is the perfect time to have Jell-O.
And I like that the “O” is a little elevated compared to the rest of the text; it matches the little “J-E-L-L…O!” jingle.
Aneel…doubting me?
Okay…so this is the actual comment Aneel left on my “Jell-o Candle” picture:

WTF how in the world did you make a candle out of jello? I bet you didn’t I bet it looks like jello anyways it’s cool |
What a butt! Aneel, that candle was totally Jell-o! You know those little Jell-o cup doodads? If you just whack one on a table upside down a few times, it’ll come out. Then stick a wick in it and light it and voila! Instant JELL-O CANDLE.
I am disappointed in you, Aneel.
But I love you, anyways!
