Changing your logo for no reason is pretty much the dumbest thing you can do for your business. it's always supposed to be along with doing something else that changes how you do business. Like a good time is when you are updating your site or acquired another company. Not just "whelp I got these designers maybe I'll barge into their offices and get my money's worth"

i think it's meant to symbolise getting to your destination? like the white circle is the place on a map you're going to and the line and square are sort of the end of the route that is drawn onto the map like in an animation of travelling in a bad movie

that's also maybe why the driver one has two lines coming from the square, because the driver arrives at the destination and then heads off again?

i assumed the white circle was a tracking beacon or some bullshit but if they had even turned the circle 90 degrees clockwise it would have looked like a U and made at least a little more sense, as the direction would be up uP UP

it's funny, the amount of wasted space in this version of the logo makes me think the exact opposite of economizing to cut costs

that's an oversimplification.

sometimes they would also change the font to helvetica when they tilted things

i cant count how many times i drove home when i shouldn't have because calling a taxi service would get the "it'll be 2 hours" and then i'd wait 30 minutes then just drive home

not in the uber logo, no, but if you measure how stuff is assigned on a page it's typically up more than you'd think.

that's because he's wrong and won't find anything that supports his theory, it's possible in a really lopsided shape [twitter logo in that article] that you'll have to cheat it a little but in general it's usually best to center things or align them
