Hard freeze after rain this morning and the water freezing patterns are amazing. This was on my Suburban.

I miss Chrysler’s Pentastar logo.

The beauty of the GE logo RE cursive is- you don't actually READ it, you just recognize it. That's why companies bother with logos- to instill recognition. Mad kudos to Ford for retaining it's founder's signature logo for 117 years.

I think the B would look great in Matte black....would really bring out the chrome. As far as that logo, it looks quite cheesy. I’d have to agree with Ocn on this one-it has a Fisher Price look to it. Though I do like the color choices.......

God, so embarrassing for a company that was once so mighty. The WORST. Reinforces the idea that EV are children's toys. A disgrace to GM history... the richest history in the automotive world... squandered, balled up and thrown in the trash.

In 1934 and 1969, the final stroke of the E curls a little more. In 1986 and 2003, it curls less (no serif?) but I don't see a difference. The current one is about a color change. I've seen this one on the nacelles of engines of commercial aircraft. It's a known quantity. I'm just wondering how it will hold up over time since I hear kids are no longer being taught cursive writing in the school system, unless it has recently returned. - - - - - directed elsewhere: can we skip the sensationalistic conspiracy theories?

The Irony is unreal.

Interesting....the new logo is different. I guess the new look is a attempt to make the company seem more 'youthful' and 'hip' instead of old and stodgy, to attract Gen-Z and Millennial appliance shoppers...just marketing BS...expensive to change if you think about everywhere the logo appears.

Getting it right is HARD, especially when it comes to software. Good thing Cadillac actually hired somebody to ditch CUE 1.0 for a much better one.

8 years and 22 versions = 3 versions PER YEAR, plus howevermany updates in between. That's nutty.

LOL just totally reinforces the idea that EVs are children's toys. Totally Fisher-Price. WHAT A SHAME. FIRE MARY BARRA! The whole internet is LOL over this craptastic turn for the worse.

Software World Updates every 4 months is the normal with a major update once per year. GM after CUE 1.0 and 2.0 which was solid if you stayed within the lines, but broke every time people tried to do things the way they approached their smartphone broke all over. Was a smart move to bring in an actual software group with UI experience and customer feedback groups to get what is now a very reliable interface. Still have room to improve, but things are getting better. I am interested to see the new UI / System that will go into the EVs that take advantage of the new larger displays.

This channel is interesting, this guy has been to every country in the world.

This logo is positively LAME. Who approved this logo?!

I heard that General Electric is being sold to the Chinese. That better damn sight be fake news. If true, it is a suicidal breach of national security.

^ I was being facetious. - - - - - Speaking of which tho- this is how you do Corporate ID :

Graphically, lower case lettering is generally view as 'weak' or submissive. It's not remotely 'inclusive', no matter how the designer chooses to define that. I knew they were trying to force something with the 'm', but it doesn't come across. What GM should do is fork over a billion or so, and swap corporate ID's with General Electric.

Cool to see the new Maverick "spy" photo taken on a pilot assembly line. Shaping up to be a cool little truck, although I am still fingers crossed for a regular cab, or at least a Super Cab version.

well

ALERT GM has rolled out a New Company Logo to go with their drive to become a pure EV Company. Quote Press Release: General Motors is debuting a new marketing campaign as part of the company’s comprehensive efforts to accelerate mass adoption of electric vehicles. The “Everybody In” campaign is a call to action meant to reflect a movement that’s inclusive and accessible. The company is also evolving its brand identity as GM transforms itself to deliver on a vision that creates a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. As GM amplifies its EV message, it has also created a revitalized brand identity designed for a digital-first environment. The new logo builds on a strong heritage while bringing a more modern and vibrant look to GM’s familiar blue square. The new brand identity extends to technology brands including Ultium. The team of GM designers tasked with creating the new logo considered how to balance the history and trust inherent to the existing design with GM’s vision for the future. According to Sharon Gauci, GM executive director of Global Industrial Design: “This was a project our team took so personally, not just for ourselves but for the 164,000 employees this logo represents. At every step we wanted to be intentional and deliberate because this logo signifies creative and innovative thinking across the global General Motors family.” The new GM logo features a color gradient of vibrant blue tones, evoking the clean skies of a zero-emissions future and the energy of the Ultium platform. The rounded edges and lower-case font create a more modern, inclusive feel. The underline of the “m” connects to the previous GM logos as well as visually representing the Ultium platform. And within the negative space of the “m” is a nod to the shape of an electrical plug. To Advance Zero-Emissions Future, GM Invites ‘Everybody In’

That’s a neat deet on that tor. For the mathematically challenged that can’t measure tread depth.

A bedliner ‘painted’ car would be a bit too ‘Alabama’ for me. Wraps are what- $1500 and last like 3 years (regular use)? Maybe just leave it in primer. Nah. - - - - - Apparently this is a brand new Goodyear feature. Why not until 2020??

Not to me, much more enjoyable with stock. I really think the stock sounds awesome, not as loud as aftermarket but loud enough for me.

No; that’s been tossed around here. Still no decision made. I’d seen a black B-59 in person but didn’t like the presentation. Then I see cars like this:

Boo is a good boy. He's not a lap-sitter, but he does sleep on our bed at night and in the winter, frequently comes under the covers between us for a bit. Has his own rigid routines; likes to spend the morning/early afternoon in the basement, likes to look out my study window late at night. He has a 'compound' I made him in the backyard; about 3' wide x 12' long, and has an 'upstairs' block with shelves- he loves hanging out in it in the spring-fall. There's also these two girls in the mix, but they & Boo have to be separated; Boo's not ready to share the same space with them, even after 11 months of being under the same roof.

It is loud, I feel even too loud, especially inside. I kind of sorry mine doesn't have active exhaust option. The Shelby I drove had it and it really works well.

Crude but funny....

These are the 3 colored logos that will be used.
