Thats amazing. Its in the uncanny valley where I can't tell if they're serious or if they're having a laugh.

It immediately makes me think of the song "Redesign Your Logo" by Lemon Demon. Pure comedy.

That song is directly inspired by the Pepsi nonsense; the lyrics and backing video [1] have some direct quotes. Definitely the first thing that comes to mind each time a multi-billion company decides to change their logo and nobody likes it.

It recalls to mind Don Quixote. Is it madness or genius? In the case of great art; who can rightly say.

It is clear they worked hard for their salary.

(i think it was also released as a joke, then everyone took it seriously)

"Redesign Your Logo" was actually directly inspired by this exact brand redesign document, so your instinct is well-founded! Here's a transcript of the official Spirit Phone commentary track where Neil mentions it:
