Why every company is hitting 'Ctrl+B' on its logo
Briefly

The article discusses the trend in corporate branding where recent rebrands, such as Amazon, Walmart, and OpenAI, have involved minimal changes, often simply making the logos bolder. This follows a humorous skit featuring Ryan Gosling on SNL where he realizes the simplistic updates to logos. The rebrands emphasize clean, approachable sans-serif typefaces, reflecting a shift away from past intimidating styles. Despite the rebranding efforts, social media reactions show disappointment over a lack of significant visual changes. Overall, the trend highlights a growing sense of homogeneity in corporate identity design.

'Gosling's humorous satire resonated last year, now mirroring real-life branding decisions where companies are opting for slight modifications rather than groundbreaking changes.'
