Logo looks like a teen designed it for the smartphone app he was working on in his garage 7 years ago.

If I ever buy a GM, I still expect to get a rebate by showing my tax returns at the dealership, considering the amount of bail out money they received.

You know a company is run by a bunch of MBAs when a pivot in the face of a very successful competitor is a new logo.

The CEO is an engineer. Also, there is a lot more happening at GM than just a logo change. GM owns Cruise since 2016 and they have a line of EVs they have been selling world wide for many years now.

Mary Barra is an electrical engineer. Wesley Bush was CEO of Northrop Grumman and holds an engineering MS from MIT.

It's not the logo that matters, it's the pivot that it highlights.

BTW, if you've ever worked with engineers then you know that the best engineers are often entirely clueless about business.

Mary Barra got her MBA in 1990 from Stanford. Having an engineering degree doesn't mean you're not an MBA.

Reminds me of when BP made their logo a green and yellow flower and rebranded as "Beyond Petroleum". It's like yeahhhhhh, sure, is that really gonna fool people?

This logo is garbage, I can't mince words about that.

Looks like an obscure chinese/japanese app company logo.
