Hmmm. Usually there's some sort of scroll-over explanation when it's Fvck-With-Everyone-Day or some other event that they commemorate with a change to the logo.

And they succeeded in exactly what they hoped. Everyone is now aware that the option is there. Those that liked it can turn it back on, those that don't can stick with the default. Tada.

If that was their goal it still seems moronic to me. It looks like New Coke to me. (Not as huge a deal of course, but an analogous situation.)

Some say that New Coke was on purpose too...

I'd buy it if it were possible to roll out New Coke for $83 have it out there for only one day and then immediately put things back the way they were.

I heard a theory that it had to do with a switch from sugar to cheaper corn syrup. When they brought back "Classic" Coca-Cola the change was made and none were the wiser. It may have cost a bajillion dollars start to finish but it saved them a ton of money in the long run, supposedly.

I wondered what was up with that. I'm glad they switched it back.
