I'm talking about these. You serious?

We truly are lost.

I had the same reaction as you, but the point makes a lot of sense to me after some consideration. If I cover up the new ones, I can TOTALLY see how someone could associate the old ones with values and styles they find outdated. At an extreme, if I imagine asking my 16yo niece about the old logos, I wouldn't be at all surprised by a highly negative association with the old.

Yes exactly. They look like they're for grandma and will go with her pearls. And a Rolls-Royce.

I don't see what's so "lost" about that. It's certainly not the type of luxury vibe that seems to speak to anything desirable today. The logos look like something out of a museum.

Today the height of status is the new iphone and a gucci shirt. How far we have fallen.

How is that any different than a new Rolex and a Brooks Brothers shirt?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

(And at least an iPhone does a lot more than a Rolex, and is a heckuva lot cheaper too. So I see this as a major improvement, actually.)

OK, so we haven't fallen at all. That was my point.
