| Aug 11, 2025 at 13:23 | comment | added | Lundin | Apart from the fact that it's fricken creepy to intentionally using a spine (wtf!?) as your logo, it reminds me a lot of the Kellogg's Corn Flakes rooster. Maybe they literally found the logo in a packet of Corn Flakes... | |

| Jul 23, 2025 at 17:09 | comment | added | zcoop98 | I like this so much. The brand identity talk really seems keen on discarding what came before in favor of being "fresh" and "relevant", rather than recognizing its value, even if it does have faults. The sense that feeling "old" can itself be an asset (as it brings an air of being established) is especially neat, I don't know if I've heard it laid out like that before. | |

The icon looks to me like breaking the spine of a thick book. It doesn’t read “essential infrastructure” to me at all. | |
| Jul 19, 2025 at 11:07 | comment | added | tenfour | Love every part of this analysis. To me it also raises the question, why reorganize the whole network out of familiarity of the StackOverflow brand, at the same time totally overhauling that brand? | |
