We had a Ruby user group meeting at MySpace HQ here in LA after the redesign but before the troubles. The reception desk, the signs, everywhere I was confronted by their new logo. And I literally couldn't believe it.

My mind was blown and refused to believe this was their actual identity. So every time I saw it, I said to myself, "Really?!" I just had to visit their website again just now to make sure. This should not be anyone's reaction to a logo.

I still don't understand how such a mistake happened. "You know, we've seen lots of logos but we really love the one where you literally rip off the 'my' from the MyNetworkTV logo and put a sideways brace next to it. It makes us feel like crazy madmen that can do anything we want." I mean, that's my best-case scenario.

I like it better than the old one.

So for you, the logo worked. It got your attention and brought you into the site.
