Quote:
Gone is surely the world's most recognisable "U", and in its place, an image that looks like - according to my followers on Twitter - something in between a broken polo mint and an ancient Chinese coin.

It’s a bizarre one, this. I would have thought that keeping the U would be important for the brand.

It's just the logo and app store icons as far as I can see, but it does seem a very strange change indeed.

They've been going a while now. I would kind of expected any copyright trolls to have surfaced before now given their profile and financial backing.

That was the first time I have actually seen the logo.
From a first-look perspective, the previous logo looked much better.

Same here, never seen their logo before.

That was a "U"? It looked more like a back-to-front C.

It's not as if Uber seem to care very much about laws, tbh.
