    Hip, trendy, futuristic? Looks like a logo for a toy company.

    Looks like the Facebook logo f***ed the GM logo on a one night stand and that's the illegitimate bastard offspring we're left with:eek:. The original GM logo is manly that thing is........well without getting kicked off the board I'll just say not manly:rolleyes:.

    I'll never own any new crap of theirs, or any other make let alone an electric vehicle, I'll stick to driving used gas vehicles.
    I'll be dead by the time electric vehicles take hold, thank God:rolleyes:

    "a line that sits beneath the "m" to create an electric plug out of the white space in the letter m"



    Everyone, meet the new General Motors logo. America's largest automaker decided it was time for a fresh look as it eyes a radically different future for its business -- a business that revolves around electric cars and zero emissions.

    The new logo was revealed on Friday. It's a radical departure from the slate blue and uppercase design of the outgoing look.
    This new logo features a lowercase "gm," a white background, a blue outline for the font and a rounded box design.

    The automaker said the goal was to invoke thoughts of a cleaner future with a bright blue gradient, while conjuring feelings of inclusiveness with the move to lowercase letters.
    I can get the first part, but the lowercase feels dramatically less professional, at least in my view.

    The final major change is a line that sits beneath the "m" to create an electric plug out of the white space in the letter m --
    reminiscent of the arrow in the FedEx logo, and a signal that directly points to the automaker's in-house Ultium battery and motor technology.

    "This was a project our team took so personally, not just for ourselves but for the 164,000 employees this logo represents," Sharon Gauci, GM executive director of global industrial design, said of the new logo.
    "At every step we wanted to be intentional and deliberate because this logo signifies creative and innovative thinking across the global General Motors family."

    The new logo will roll out across the automaker this year and serve in any place we'd typically see the outgoing logo.
    It will tie into a new marketing campaign entitled "Everybody In."

    The campaign will lay the groundwork for the automaker as it seeks to put drivers into EVs and begin a slow march away from the internal-combustion engine.

    I like it. GM needs something new. A logo isn’t enough.

    I like the bold GM.
    Lower case, seems the general is going the suckerman way,
    gm = going modern?

    Probably still buy a gas powered car, they should be cheap:D
    Buying a 5 year old electric car, what would it cost? Plus the batteries having to be replaced down the road, and TA Performance will go outta business:eek:

    It’s a logo guys, it’s not something earth shattering or in the grand scope of life makes a bit of difference to any of us. It’s the 6th iteration of the GM logo over time and it won’t be the last I’m sure. I imagine people bellyached each time it has changed and the world still turned.

    The new GM logo is as ugly as the Buick SUV's.
