uhh i don't know where that image is from but they're still using the 8-bar variant everywhere i've seen it

e: the only places i see the one they say for 2018 are like old offices built in the 50s



yeah, the solid one was the initial redesign, then rand did the the 13 then 8 variants. someone put the selectric-era logo last lol

Internet Janitor posted:

god, i hate this logo

paul rand was such a hack fraud

'hold on to your ties, fellas, i'm adding lines'

'oh wait, too much'

his doodle for the lines was a pretty good corporate commentary: a guy in prison stripes next to the lined logo

edit: his ford logo would have aged so badly they'd have redesigned it in a decade lol. he could really go up his own rear end about simple shapes

the rebus was in color in various forms, so monotone looks janky. I want to say the original was landscape and for an annual report? idk, it's been years since i had to know this

iirc ibm's head of design or w/e pushed back against the rebus at the time for being too playful, so it's always a bit funny to see internal designers go ham

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
It's some real elementary school level poo poo.

Okay now for the M. hmmmmmm....hmmm.....hmmm okay that one's hard I'll just use an M from their old logo. Perfect. I've done it again"

the washing machines in the laundry room are now permanently broken in terms of accepting cards since the loving wifi network they rely on is down, so i had to download the app (which authorizes a wash using bluetooth). it made me make an account and now i get loving washing machine spam multiple times a day. the future is horrible.

quote:

When gathering laundry, it can be easy to overlook your sheets. As the Sleep Foundation notes, it only takes a few days for sheets to accumulate dirt, dead skin cells, body oils, and more—all of which attract dust mites. They recommend washing sheets and pillowcases weekly.

The representations made herein are informational and for promotional purposes only. They do not constitute any warranty or guaranteed results; nor do they constitute an offer to provide any products or services.

at least when you make an account they give you five bucks of laundry money, and as far as i can tell all you need to make a new account is a functioning email address, so i guess laundry's free from now on

i don't wash my sheets weekly but i have four sets (more, really) and i do change them that often. do a big load every few weeks.

clean beds feel so nice and are so easy to achieve.

yesterday i tried to pay for parking and putting the bill in the bill acceptor made the parking meter crash and i had to wait 5 minutes for it to reboot. according to the debugging info on the display, it spent most of the boot time "creating user interface" and "searching for 2G network," two things that every parking meter definitely needs.

i love the future

this happened to me recently at the airport, except the card reader was entirely broken and the arm would not move without card reader approval. another person and I were trapped in the parking lot for half an hour waiting for someone to come let us out

i'm also not quite weekly, but regularly for allergies and cycle pillow cases in-between changes which helps

we also get a bit of a buffer going, then clean a few in a go so there's always at least a spare set

It's probably the taking them off and putting them on part

Otherwise the sagebrush approach would work
