Designers think iTunes 10 logo "sucks", Steve Jobs responds
« on: September 06, 2010, 09:40:51 PM »
Wired News is reporting that a designer emailed Steve Jobs to tell him that the new logo "sucks" and throws away a decade of "instant product recognition." The designer, Josh Kopac, got one of Steve's trademark terse responses: "We disagree."

A lot of people in the design community agree with Kopac that the iTunes 10 logo has got to go. Check out Dribbble, the playground where lots of pro designers preview their new work, and you'll find several replacement iTunes 10 icons already. One that seems to have gained real traction is a magenta version by Chris Carlozzi. It's got 154 likes on Dribbble, and has been touted by other blogs as the icon iTunes 10 should have had.

If you don't love the new logo, take your pick of icons from Dribbble, or show us some other alternatives you like better. If you think the new logo's just fine, here's your chance to offer a defense in the comments.

At least the old one was recognizable.  This one is so generic.

Apple of all companies should know about brand recognition, all their users go "If Apple makes it, it must be good!"  ::)
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
