The WSJ editorial board is garbage and will fall over themselves to side with corporate America even if it means making untenable arguments.

Yep! But I don't think a ban is needed to remove cars. Just make it undesirable to have one. Remove incentives to drive. For example, removing parking (free parking especially) is a great way to remove cars.

The data disagrees. Narrowing streets, adding vertical elements to the edges of streets, and removing lanes works. Congestion pricing helps too!

Skip the red light camera phase and just start redesigning the streets so they don't invite speeding and dangerous driving. No amount of enforcement is ever going to stop assholes. Making them feel like they might hurt THEMSELVES if they drive recklessly will.

Purely subjective. I personally see no difference in the balance, and either way, "balanced" doesn't mean correct.

It's the giant SUVs. The answer is obvious just by walking around, but the data is an obvious correlation as well. Any car that you can't see a child out of should be illegal.

Flat, simple logo design has nothing to do with "going digital" - all the gradients and chrome shit layered on top of the existing logo are far more "digital" than anything that came before or after.

I was commenting on the incredible level of jargon. This post is even more impressive!

Lots of definitive-sounding opinions from people who clearly don't have design experience. It's fun to be equipped to see through comments that sound good but are total bullshit to someone who knows what they're talking about - I don't often get that on here :)

Thats... almost exactly what they did though.

Hate to break it to you, but all these "problems" with the logo were exactly the same in the old logo. You got distracted by the ham-fisted layer styles and fooled into thinking that made it good.

The fact that you said "makes the letters pop" would send shivers down any designer's spine.

This article is just a guy whining about how he personally doesn't like a logo. This logo is just fine, and it's certainly better than the old one that tried to look like it was made of physical material. Obviously the logos that are applied to the cars will look metallic because, well, they will be made of metal. This is a better logo in general, especially for print and online purposes. No excessive fake gradients and material renders, simpler lines and colors that will reduce well, and it goes back to the original state of their logo before they piled a bunch of fake chrome on it in the last couple decades.

The solution is to stop re-writing basic browser functions. Just let me scroll.
