Do you like the new Whirlpool logo?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

Maybe they wanted to change the look to a "modern" update but it lacks character now.
Even the whirlpool spiral over the W is lacking punch (it's sparse looking).
It doesn't move me at all and don't see the point of the change.

I really, really dislike it.........................I hate c

What was wrong with the old one???? The whirlpool over the 'W' looks incomplete. The old logo looked modern, and a million times better. Hate the new font, hate the new "whirlpool" above the "W." .....another overly paid, top-executive decision. It was the same with Frigidaire, the script logo, had class I thought. The new logo is also plain and boring. I hope GE doesn't change their "meatball" logo, as my GE Capital friend calls it.

I like it.

I look at it multiple times a day on my refrigerator and range.

Honestly, I don't care very much, as long as the appliance does what I want it to do. Keep my food safe and cold, and cook my food. Which they do, very well.

What's with everyone turning to plain looking logo's these days. At least Maytag's still looks as it should, well, I guess until Whirlpool decides to change it if they haven't already.
 
hm, kay....

Not so much of a difference to the old one. (quote: "font change")
Ok, the whirl is somewhat cheaper and the yellow orbit doesn't look as "electronic" or "spacey" as it did.
But honest, it is still recognizable (cheaper yes, disgusting no, but): The very old one with the horizontally stretched-out W under the whirlpool, wasnt that the most cheesy one?
That one was a real "rape" to a font to me.

A bit cartoon-like, yet Whirlpool. Worse than the last one, that is for sure.
 
I hadn't noticed that the "spark" was gone as well.  Hmmm...  Interesting that the Whirlpool itself looks like a rubber stamp - and some of the lines didn't form completely.  Oh well.  Now that it is forever change, we can enjoy the old one even more.
 
Pointless change. What were they thinking, saving 3% on ink?

The bean counters are at it again. Sheesh. The Whirlpool graphic doesn't even look like a Whirlpool anymore and the new font looks cheap.
 
I guess they're showing us what to expect from them & their products;less performance(weak whirpool)& less customer loyalty/interaction/service(weak/generic/classless lettering).

But,compared to the state of the World in general,a non-issue.
 
What a boring typeface. And what is up with the kerning between the "hi" and the "lp"? Also, any time a ligature dies, i'm sad (Wh).

The old logo looks like it was designed by a designer. The new looks like it was selected from the built-in font pack of Windows XP.

What a shame. Things must be rough when ya can't afford a serif.

There's a love-affair on with sans-serif fonts these days.  I knew what was coming when Apple vaunted Myriad Pro to the forefront, and suddenly, placards in Wal-Mart leveraged the typeface.  It was novel before everyone adopted it.  Now I wish Apple would go back to Apple Garamond.

 

The thing that makes me wince about this new logo (emaciated appearance aside) is the whirlpool over the 'W' itself.  The line art is sloppy and asymmetrical, and incomplete.  The swirls of the whirlpool no longer connect.  Usually logo graphics simplify by reducing line complexity, but never completeness.  I'm really, truly surprised that this struck people as the best.  (Makes me wonder what the runners-up were.)  My eye is immediately drawn to the "lump" caused by the off-kilter swirl.  Yucky.
 
Apple Garamond set the standard in the 90s as well...only recently did I realize how much (watching old commercials on YouTube). I loved that font.
