      In case you forgot what PayPal’s app icon looked like prior or don’t use PayPal, here’s the before and after. This says so much about them as a company/band and society in general I’m sure I could write and entire essay on the subject.

      @gedeonm I was handling graphic design duties at my previous company between “communications specialists”. I’d noticed the that company logo had drifted from its original design and intent in both the typeface used inside it and the colors. It had been done at the whim of a previous comms manager without real permission by anyone in charge.

      I researched the correct colors and found hex, Pantone, and CMYK specs and fixed the colors. Then I replaced the Arial typeface with Helvetica. It think originally had a generic sans serif from 1977 (Trade Gothic?) that was neither Helvetica nor Arial (obviously since it didn’t exist yet)
