Andrew Crow, Uber’s head of design, has announced that he’s leaving the company. Since joining in 2014, he helped grow Uber’s design team from 30 to nearly 200 while leading "all aspects of design," according to his LinkedIn, "including Product, Brand, Marketing, Content Strategy & Copywriting, and Design Research. "

...

[the same day] Uber revealed a new widely ridiculed rebranding, which was spearheaded by CEO Travis Kalanick and design director Shalin Amin.

why aren't the background lines visible in the center square? there should be four intersecting lines there.

I hear about these 100+ person design/ux teams and my mind boggles

we support 80 applications across 4 lines of business and and if you include our project managers and content team we're still well under 100 people, maybe 70? ~40 of whom are designers or design managers I guess that doesn't include the brand team since that's enterprise-level but still

bad production design, instead of making a cutout they just drew on top of the circle although that might be the intentional

actually no, if you look closely you'll see that the square + line are almost imperceptibly lighter than the background, they're supposed to be distinct from it but are almost identically colored for god knows what reason

i'm glad you agree

it's the stupidest loving logo one could propose. the fact that they're a $50 billion startup doesn't make it better.

if they wanted to make it any worse, they should use comic sans to spell out
"uber" below it

Is it a tire??? Is it a record player? Are the lines in the background supposed to be like streets in some future-topia where everything is perfectly curved?

And why is it a U on its side?? Did the uninsured driver you sort of paid to take you home while drunk roll the car over?

I'm getting madder and madder that this guy in charge of Uber is rich even though he is clearly the loving worst at this.

We have a team of 8 ux guys for a developer group of 500+ people. They are widely reviled since they're the ones that often have to tell a manager that yes, the scroll bar is there for a reason, and no you shouldn't change all the <hr>s to an animated gif of a train driving across the screen
