I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;ve ever met an opinion on a logo, name, or anything creative less than a month old that was worth a damn.<p>When faced with something new, the tendency is to focus on the superficial, the easy joke, and it&#x27;s too easy to let other opinions steer your own; they&#x27;re momentarily on equal footing, you see. But the work will last longer than this moment. Your own opinion will evolve. The crowd will move on to the next easy joke and hip-shot reaction.<p>That&#x27;s why I like to avoid making more than cautious, small statements until I&#x27;ve had a while to reflect. This work looks nice to me. There&#x27;s potential for great marketing in an individually customizable — but still distinctive (or distinguishable) — logomark.<p>Most of this commentary feels like the person in the code review who hasn&#x27;t taken the time to digest the intent of the code, so they comment on formatting. Whitespace. Trees. Not the forest.

Logo similarity:<p><a href="https://www.automationanywhere.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.automationanywhere.com&#x2F;</a><p>They&#x27;ve had this re-design at least since March (based on their Facebook page).

Well, this should go down in the annals of logos which should have gotten some wider impressions before launching.<p>Since nobody else on HN has mentioned it, all of twitter thinks the new logo looks like a vagina. It&#x27;s hard to unsee.

I clicked on the link and saw the &quot;Welcome Home&quot; message with a lady sleeping in the background.<p>A second or two later she moved and I realized I&#x27;m watching a short video of some lady sleeping. Which felt very creepy.<p>I just thought that was noteworthy since that&#x27;s not a feeling that comes up all that often clicking on a link for a business&#x27;s home page.<p>On the new logo:<p>I think it&#x27;s surprisingly nice. The video introduction was good too. Except for a couple things:<p>1. The flashing font-color&#x2F;background-color sequence bothered my eyes quite a bit. It&#x27;s almost offensively intrusive? It seems like one of those &quot;persistent vision&quot; pictures&#x2F;illusions. Except you don&#x27;t expect it.<p>2. The &quot;four things&quot;... took a nice (if a bit cheesy) message, and really made it feel forced. It clued me into the intent that they want little Bélo stickers plastered in the corners of windows... but I feel like that sort of thing happens organically, or not. If you distribute free stickers to owners, with that suggestion on the back of the peel-away, I bet it&#x27;s as effective. If you don&#x27;t distribute them, then the video isn&#x27;t going to make it happen anyways.<p>Just my 2c.

<i>For so long, people thought Airbnb was about renting houses. But really, we’re about home. You see, a house is just a space, but a home is where you belong.</i><p>I hope they didn&#x27;t pay very much for this, it&#x27;s nauseating.

I haven&#x27;t used AirBnB extensively and don&#x27;t really remember the old UI, but my immediate thought is this new UI will probably appeal to their target audiences.<p>It looks like it&#x27;s designed to convey an emotion - that giddy feeling when you&#x27;re traveling and seeing something new, coupled with having a homey experience from a local. It&#x27;s got great big photos, that big hero video, and is emphasizing both people and landscapes pretty well.<p>Overall, I get the sense that the brand is growing up and expanding from a sub-culture to a larger market of travelers now. And they&#x27;ve managed to look better than an Expedia or Travelocity.<p>With that said - darn it, now I can&#x27;t get the &quot;private parts&quot; comparison out of my head now.<p>(Conspiracy theorist note: Unless, that&#x27;s what they wanted to put into your head... Ooo...)

The site looks great.<p>However, is it just me, or do the videos in the mantle not really add much? I find the movement in some of them distract from the space itself, while others just seem a little staged or even a bit creepy. I think I would have much preferred photos.

Not a critique of the design overall, but if someone responsible for the home page design is reading this: it might be worth applying a slight translucent layer over the background images&#x2F;videos to help make the white text more readable (something like (0,0,0,0.4)!

Is the new symbol an attempt at some contrived post-millenial hobo code?<p>&quot;Look, honey! The Bélo! We&#x27;ve found a safe-house!&quot;

I love the new site. I was never a fan of the old one because I felt overwhelmed with all the information on the screen. This feels cleaner, more minimalist.<p>One gripe I have with the new site is the fixed booking form on the right side of the screen as you scroll through a listing. I find it really distracting (perhaps that&#x27;s the point?). Because of the fixed form on the right, there&#x27;s also a lot of wasted space in the column. I dunno, maybe I&#x27;ll get used to this over time.

Frankly I did not see this coming [0], I always figured Airbnb would aim to be a universal marketplace, rather than carving out a niche in &quot;authentic&quot;, &quot;unique&quot;, &quot;truly amazing experiences&quot;.<p>Anyhow, I read &quot;belonging&quot; as a coded word for &quot;community&quot;, and wonder how Airbnb thinks they are going to culture their own community...<p>Maybe they will make a strategic acquisition? Lonely Planet, for example.<p>Or maybe they will bleed some of their profits into a virtual currency &#x2F; karma that folks can earn, trade, and apply toward accommodations? Airbnb could tweak the karma economy to maximize profits while still infusing enough karma to bootstrap their community.<p>[0] <a href="http://blog.airbnb.com/belong-anywhere" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.airbnb.com&#x2F;belong-anywhere</a>

I don&#x27;t really care about the new logo. But I do wish that the &quot;new airbnb&quot; allowed me to sort the listings by price. This is standard practice on any other site I can think of. Sure I can set a price range but this still forces me to have to think. I like the fact that when I sort results I know that as I continue scrolling the price is going to increase. That way when I find a place I am happy with I know that there is not going to be a place further on which is better value. Please let me know if I am just being stupid and have not figured out how to sort the results.

The change is neat, giving more room to expand towards their bigger vision. But,<p>what I don&#x27;t understand is why the hell they moved the most important element in their site down to a secondary place (&quot;the search&quot;).

I think this is a step in the right direction for Airbnb. It has more warmth and personality, feels more accessible and less like a website created in 2005 (the existing button styles always irked me). A minor nitpick I have with the design is that video background header, on my desktop Mac with a screen resolution of 2560 x 1440 viewing in Chrome at maximum width and height the scaling bugs up and the heads of everyone are being cut off. As I drag the sides of my browser in, the heads come into view and looks much better. It looks a little strange with the cut off heads, perhaps centring the video would be the most ideal fix. The video content seems a little strange as well (especially the one of the woman sleeping).<p>I am loving that explore view and the subsequent single listing pages with the sticky quick book form. Definitely leaps and bounds better over the existing site. I don&#x27;t know how I feel about that logo though. I love the story behind its creation, I love the versatility of it as a brand mark, but it kind of looks like a vagina&#x2F;rocket ship. Hate to be crude, but once you see it, there is no unseeing it. Based on Tweets I&#x27;ve seen about it, I am not alone in thinking that.<p>Another thing that surprised me is the fact the site is only responsive to an extent. If you shrink your browser down small to that of an iPad mini, it kind of breaks. Surprised the site doesn&#x27;t work at all resolutions considering the great teams they&#x27;d have to make it happen.

How much bandwidth does one need to be able pipe down a 22.9 Meg WebM video file with every home page impression? Oi. Looks beautiful though.

Trivia: the new logo is called the &quot;Bélo&quot;; the old one was constructed from the typeface &quot;Bello&quot; by Underware.<p><a href="http://www.underware.nl/fonts/bello/preface" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.underware.nl&#x2F;fonts&#x2F;bello&#x2F;preface</a>

Not bad, but its WAY too over designed. The actual functional part on the front page is like a black bar that is 10% of the page. The start your adventure part is nice, but serves little functionality to me. Yes its cool to see all these awesome places, but I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ll be going to Berlin anytime soon. The search page looks good still, just not a fan of the front page.<p>Compared to Kayak which makes it super obvious where to start, and the &quot;Start Your Adventure&quot; equivalent is top cities people travel to. That section should be a supplement not a main feature.

It seems clear to me that this is a step towards a bigger vision (example: <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/06/05/us-airbnb-dinner-idUSKBN0EG29320140605" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;05&#x2F;us-airbnb-dinner-i...</a>)<p>I just saw the event they had, and while extremely awkward and painful to watch, they continually eluded to a broader concept bigger than &quot;renting rooms.&quot;

I am not really a fan of the pastel colors and the new logo. I know they were trying to make photos and such more prominent but I find it harder to navigate.

Think of how many meaningful connections you could make if you charged below market rate for lodging in high demand areas. Until now I thought airbnb was about making money for themselves and their hosts, but now I see it&#x27;s about connecting the world through meaningful experiences and the money is almost not even a factor! Amazing!

The front page looks like a designer&#x2F;agency portfolio site and not like the tool&#x2F;application that it really is. It looks like the actual result pages haven&#x27;t changed much, so that&#x27;s a good thing.<p>I&#x27;m in the middle of redesigning my own website this week and I&#x27;ve seen plenty of this stuff. Too much really.
azharkhan将近 11 年前
I think this was a well thought out rebranding, especially seeing as they are becoming a larger global brand, and their identity needed to reflect that as well.<p>The site is beautiful, the new logo is simple yet unique and fits their brand well, and I personally cannot wait to use their services next year for my trip through Europe.
soneca将近 11 年前
first impression of logo: it nauseates me. It makes me uneasy. I don&#x27;t know why, it looks like too random to me, to doodled. And their initiative to people draw it by themselves make this even worse.<p>I ain&#x27;t no designer, or any kind of expert, but I keep looking at it and it confounds my eyes. Terribly.

The ethos of the redesign is more important than the redesign itself. The new logo is more than airbnb&#x27;s take on the hobo code. It is an attempt to move beyond being a commodity and into a brand people can aspire to.

I absolutely love the new branding &amp; fluid logo. This is one of those gigantic branding leaps that makes everything that came before look instantly outdated. Nice work.

I&#x27;m not sure why so many people seem so intent on sexualizing a logo. I think that it&#x27;s pretty clever to incorporate the location marker into the A.

Are they into space technology? No joke, that was the very first thing that came to my mind when I saw the new logo.
