Xerox rebrands, becomes Racer X
Xerox launched a new identity and I really don’t like it, the sphere with the web 2.0 glossy effect is never going to be a classic. The only thing I like about the logo is that it reminds me of Racer X (picture below) from the cartoon Speed Racer. [Link]

Nice!….Sleek, sharp and pretty interesting. Certainly a lot better than a lot of the recent junk we’ve seen.

K I already knew about the rebranding from yesterday, it was posted on advertising/design goodness. You’re too slow!

I always liked that cartoon, the main character was kind of fruity though with the scarf and puppy eyes.

i think they should lose the sphere, the logo type looks good on its own

New Logo More Powerful and Web 2.0 ;)

Some cartoons and comics are not made to be live-action movies. I cannot imagine that Speed Racer will work without a certain something being ‘lost in translation’. My other favourite, apart from Tintin and Asterix comics, is Samurai Jack on TCN. None of these have worked/would work in live action.

Unfortunately no one can be told what web 2.0 is, you have to see it for yourself…
