AOL's New Logo(s)

Read the straight-faced PR. If you don't feel like it right now, that's cool, this part explains everything:

The new AOL brand identity is a simple, confident logotype, revealed by ever-changing images. It’s one consistent logo with countless ways to reveal.

Oh, okay. Suggested slogans:

• On the outside of LOLcat culture, looking in.
• Why CEOs should text less and/or not take input from their 11-year-old daughters, or nieces, or their friends.
  
• How to show your age.
• We just don't care anymore.
  
• Ftl.

I made something for you. It's a cape. Put it on.

I totally hoovered my morning covering the whirlwind drama of AOL buying Bebo (story here, stats here) for $850 million. Out of curiosity, I decided to check Bebo out.

That's when I found this. On Bebo's deliciously non-ugly, totally distracting homepage. I've had Bebo streaming Crackle cartoons in one of my tabs ever since.

Bebo. Kicks. Ass. If I were 14, I would totally be on it every day.
