Motorola Rolls Out New Simplified Logos; 'motorola a Google company'

[dgstorm]

It definitely looks like Motorola is shifting gears with their present and future image. They just rolled out a couple of new and more simplified logos. As you can see both logos de-emphasize Moto's own name by eliminating the capital letter on the front. It does however capitalize Google when calling itself "a Google company." Perhaps this is meant as an homage to its new parent company.

Both of them keep the M badge, but one is using a muted grey color and splashes a ring of color around it, while the other is purple without the ring. It's also worth noting that they are no longer using Motorola Mobility (at least in this first examples), which could be further examples of the simplification.

Sound off what you guys think of the changes.

Because Google does not even know what communications is it has already caused a decline in the US communication hardware industry. Fired a bunch of Motorola communications workers. You may think so what untill a disaster strikes and your only communication is a 2 way radio, can you work one? Just ask Sandy or any other mass catastrophe victims.
Just hope Google gets its head out of where ever it does not belong in time save the US and not just corner a market it only sees as a cash cow.
