"Go do what you love"

That actually works for me! Now hopefully someone will find it inspirational and motivational enough to buy one of my domain names...

If they drop the com registration fee to $5 do you still care about the logo?

It's downright atrocious. And the color...

Sounds like No Daddy on the new logo, GoDaddy..

I don’t see the letters GD. Agree with whoever said bring back orange hair guy with glasses!

For GoDaddy, I'm not in love with the new logo but I do think it's a good change for them from the old one.

It's kindergarten as hell, a no effort rendered heap of poop

A company of such a size must have somebody who is monitoring the corporate reputation: corporate image security specialists etc. They should be tracking the net, our forum and industry blogs in particular. Not posting, but they may be right here. Right now. So, somebody may be fired tomorrow. Or, have his or her bonus scheme changed... In any case, it is too late to play back. These testicles are alredy on all localized GD websites, in press releases etc. So, GD will have to live with this logo. A few months at least. And, later this year they'll hopefully make something new - the same colors, better impression. Imho.

When you need a press kit to explain your branding and logo...probably not a good sign.

Lol, Welcome to the world of design/branding. I was working with a company past week that rebranded. They have a 50 pages long brandkit. Their logo is a plain circle, I kid you not. Whoever wrote that up must have been foraging the good kind of mushrooms .

On subject: I don't particularly like the logo as it doesn't seem fitting for this industry. It does somehow match their entire rebrand though... which doesn't really match the industry either.

But like you wrote on another post, they obviously don't see themselves as just a registrar but more like a digital enabler. It's not that bad concidering what is hot and trending designwise atm. Most of it is well executed. If only they would put the same effort in their backend :P

I m missing old Godaddy.

I agree. It looks like a dating site. Awful. One thing I do like is their fairly new big "G" used in their favicon. There is no confusing which Tab in the browser is GoDaddy's. Excellent IMHO. More companies should to try to emulate that rather than use a favicon you can hardly see, let alone tell who it is.

I actually like the big white G on a black background for their favicon. It stands out the most of any browser tab by a long way As a logo, I much preferred the old logo. A little quirky/quaint but it helps to remember. The new logo is just awful. IMHO.

Simple is better! I like the one before this one.

This is Terrible......

As an old customer of theirs, this logo looks real bad. After multiple viewings.

But Godaddy would have put a lot of efforts into this!
