Any chance a poll can be added to this one? I have to agree that the Futura "looked" much better.

However, their bottom-line reason for making the change is very interesting and compelling: Cross-branding and language independence.

This appears to be the classic sacrifice of aesthetics for functionality.

The opposite of Ikea furniture, which sacrifices functionality (and robustness!) for aesthetics (and price).
