It's the end of an era.

For all of us, we've grown up with or knowing someone who had a Nokia phone.

RIP familiar logo.

If I randomly saw that new logo without any added context I wouldn't have a clue what brand it was supposed to be.

This is the logo of Nokia Corporation. Who manufacture 5g equipment. Nokia phones is made by another finnish company HMD Global who ises the hame under license for their smartphones. So the logo on the phones will not change as they made this change to avoid confusion with nokia phones.

Well this confused me and doesn't make sense to me.

Why wouldn't you have 2 separate companies called Nokia in the first place?

Nokia exited the phone market in the 2010s after a disastrous period under Microsoft ownership. A group of former execs didn't like this and started their own phone business which uses the nokia name under license since it is still an important brand in finland. Mainly due to national pride from what i know.

Kinda like how there’s two Motorolas. One makes consumer tech and the other makes drone surveillance, command centre software and first responder radios.

Oh man that Castol rebrand just loses any structure it previously had - big yuckers.

Massive stinker.

Adds to the patchwork of stinkers over the time.

Toblerone: Swiss rules mean chocolate bar to drop Matterhorn from packaging

Production of some of the chocolate is moving outside Switzerland so the Alpine peak can no longer be used.

Changes coming to Toblerone

What is the last rebrand that you actually liked?

I like the 7UP rebranding.

 

[justlookingaround]

I don't mind Castrol - but it looks like an Ice Hockey logo.

The Castrol font was iconic, and had been for years. Big fail.

 

[exile]

i like it a bit better in the horizontal format

 

[Storm20]

To be honest, that outline of the castrol logo is just as iconic as the logo itself

Hmm... Am I the only one that prefers the old one? This looks pretty generic

Possibly you are. The new one has historical links so works. The old one was a typical 2000's rebrand.

Ohhhh that's right, I completely forgot about that older logo. Okay, not the worst then.
