Its incredible how we think popularity means correct. The "best" logo via this methodology is very similar to the current one. Yahoo has this "old" and "cookiecutter" image that's bad enough. This just makes it worse. I can't imagine real designers thinking these designs and this popularity contest mentality is remotely good. Seems like something a ma and pa company would do because they didn't know better.

Also, try a color other than purple. No one likes purple.

Objectively I think rainbows are worse than purple, but it works for Google.

I think the purple really sets them aside. HN is orange, Reddit is light blue, Facebook is darker blue, Yahoo is purple. shrug

I like purple.
