Myspace tries 2 rebrand, makes crappy new logo so that ppl will use their site again


Were yall ever a member of the popular social networking site MYSPACE? It used to be a popular place for people to friend, comment, and look at pix before facebook / twitter replaced Myspace cuz it was bulky, slow, ugly, and too customizable. So many emo/goth tweens 'pimped out' their profiles [via Thomas's Profile Editor] and it was all ugly and poopy of a website.

Every1 got on facebook and it is more chill, then alt ppl got in twitter, and they believe twitter is 'brilliant' bc it is simple. Myspace seems 'effed', so they keep trying to do shit that makes their site more like fb/twitter, but no1 rlly cares abt them any more.

The redesign, which was reportedly scheduled for mid-October (I assume it has hit some delays), has been described as the News Corp-owned social networking site’s last stand to stop the loss of users and ad revenue. (comScore reports that Twitter recently passed MySpace in traffic for the first time. And the company has seen a number of executives leave.) Chief digital officer Jon Miller said last month that the redesign is “a full swing of the bat” that will initially scare some users away.

Here is some screen cap of 'the new user interface' that is meant to provide a 'more enriching' experience for ppl who still use myspace. Should I deactivate my facebook/twitter and become a re-early myspace adopter?

Check out this sweet 'identity' work. Wonder if the new logo / new site design is going to 'save' myspace, or if it is effed. New logo is soo flexible, open 2 interpretation. Like it doesn't matter how much of an individual u r, u will always have ur own space at my _________.

Is this logo 'dumber' than the GAP's new/old logo? [link]
