Some good discussion about this trend on HN:

The rest just go from meh to slightly different meh π€·
I liked the old aibnb one.
Microsoft went from "boring with a bit of attitude" to just plain boring
DF gets points dedacted for missing the ΓΌ dots on both, looks absolutely stupid to a german speaker
Spot on.
Slightly misleading without showing the color, only slightly though
Spotify and EBay made the right choices here, the new logos are way better.
It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.
Well, they certainly fin in better with all the others.
Those old fashion logos are actually sick. Concerning that an industry that sells style would make these their logos.
Except eBay, that was always trash.
I wonder how much correlation there is between logo blandification and being owned by giant corporations.
All these minimalist labels save .0005Β’ every time theyβre printed, probably even more on promo booths, banners, and the like.
I think it has more to do with being readable on small screens, like mobile phones. It still doesn't make sense to me to completely remove your logo and replace it with a sans serif name of your company like jaguar just did.
All the companies are gonna merge over the next decade or so, leaving a handful of megacorporations to lord over our cyberpunk dystopia. It's just easier if all their logos already look the same.
Aaaah then indeed that makes sense (and this is not ironic).
Oh, I wasnβt being entirely serious, though there is an element of truth to it. It probably is a measurable cost savings over the scale of the business.
I still think these unremarkable corporate logos are boring AF. Just makes them visually soulless along with just being corporate soulless.
I completly agree these logos are boring. The brand lost so much character and flare.
However I totally see "cost less" as one of the reason why these changes were pushed (especially for clothing brands).
What's the reasoning behind? Or just a trend?
I think it's just a long-running trend across many different companies towards simplification. Here's the Apple logo for example:
I don't see it. In this case, I see basically the same since 1977, or being strict, 1998. Unless they go for just " A P P L E " next. It's, in my view, a big step to abandon a graphic for letters.
Gotta say, the original Newton logo would've looked sick if engraved on the back of a product. Too bad nobody has ever done it.
