Gap (clothing Retailer) - Attempt To Introduce A New Logo

Attempt To Introduce A New Logo

On October 6, 2010, Gap debuted a new logo in an attempt to create a more contemporary presence in the retail market. The new logo was made with Helvetica typeface and reduced the prominence of the blue box that had become iconic with the brand. There was a public outcry against the new logo, especially in the graphic design community. The company returned to its previous "blue box" logo on October 12, only a week after the new logo's debut. Marka Hansen, the executive who oversaw the logo change, resigned February 1, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words attempt to, attempt and/or introduce:

    “You need not attempt to shake off or to banter off Romance. It is an evil you will never get rid of to the end of your days. It is a part of yourself ... of your soul. Age will only mellow it a little, and give it a holier tone.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Ulysses ... is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud, an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “We must introduce a new balance in the relationship between the individual and the government—a balance that favors greater individual freedom and self-reliance.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
