i came across this logo today. those single quotes seem so wrong. wtf is going on here? i know there are type nerds on here. is there something i'm missing or did they really fuck these up so badly?

Maybe now people will stop talking about the fedex arrow.

@palomakop they're just... completely wrong; the left one should be bottom weighted and curling inward (so it's flipped in both directions) and the right is upside down

they should form a yin and yang-style circle that "encloses" the quote itself

edit: wait that's Glassdoor's actual new logo?!

@lichendust yes!! i couldn't believe it either.

@lichendust @palomakop It's deliberate, but you can't really tell why unless you look at the logo without the brand name — like, say, in their favicon. The single quotes are rotated so that the first one is a g (for glass) and the second one is a d (for don't get too clever with your typography).

@lichendust @palomakop As an explication for one of the worst logo-change choices I've ever seen: https://logos-world.net/glassdoor-logo/ - it's deliberate, and sill awful.
Glassdoor Logo, symbol, meaning, history, PNG, brand

The Glassdoor logo stands for honesty and transparency at the dating stage; then, cooperation will lead to mutual growth and development.

@palomakop *twitches* I think that needs a CW!  

I've noticed that things that are obviously wrong get more attention, so I think this is trolling folk for clout.
