The real question is, how soon will The Weeknd finally become The Weekend; certainly by now he can afford to buy a vowel, and more important, just why is he The Weeknd?

I know you're asking in jest, but since I'm an old person who just found this out, a lot of artists in the internet age with common words as names intentionally misspell them so that they become google-able... Weeknd, Chvrches, Wavves etc

They wouldn’t have that problem if they made the effort to come up with an original name, and besides, Abel Makkonen Tesfaye is a pretty rad moniker, I don’t know why he wouldn’t be proud of that.
Chvrches is pretty lame considering that for 40 years and counting there has been a band named The Church…they’re actually friends of mine(plus Lords of the New Church, Metal Church, Drug Church)…I guess that band didn’t know how to google. And the other bunch apparently never heard of Katrina.

I assume that, since they’re focusing all that effort on the logo, they must have fixed all the other issues, like getting qualified techs in every store, who keep all the guitars and basses on the wall well set up and in tune. Good to hear!

Why even bother? It looks pretty much the same. Same color. Same font.

Never noticed, OMG...

Never noticed, OMG...

Neither did I. This free advertisement thread is the first time I realized it was the G. Haha.

Hmm, I wonder how they’re going to cover the cost of amending their signage….

Actually, if they decide to change the signage, letterhead, all uniforms, etc. it will cost a ton of money. My company just changed its name. It's a company you've never ever heard of and the signage change at every location, graphics on fleet vehicles, etc. is going to cost millions and take a couple of years.

If they had changed it to Bass Center but left off the B, that would something.

Kinda like this?

Exactly, and in the end, it’s the customers who are going to get screwed when it gets passed down. Or else payroll will get cut, which actually may not impact things that much.

It ain’t nuthin’ but a G thang.

 

[ElectroVibe]

"New Management" should be worked into the logo somehow.

 

[TNCreature]

The think that I like about the new logo is that absolutely no one cares and no one asked for it.
With them coming out of bankruptcy, you have to ask, why? Do they think this is a reset or reinvention?
It sure didn't help "The Shack"

 

[rogerbmiller]

But will they stop selling Uitars?

Well they have been a loss leader for a decade and a half so...

 

[Shaggai]

I actually like the Old logo... (Didn't notice it... but I liked it) Reminds me of... and I'm not a Brewers fan...View attachment 4659893

Why do I have the feeling that the executive that approved the Brewers logo took a look at it, said "Cool, a baseball mitt."

 

[tb-player]

I don't mind buying uitars. But this is a different story...
