Mediocrity. Have you ever seen a more juvenile, badly-designed, party-font logo abomination worse than that one? It mucks up the page and anybody who uses Flickr for any amount of time a day can’t bear seeing its ruination of the excellent design we had come to expect from Flickr. I’d guess a huge number of Flickr uses are in the arts, design and photography, and notice these things. I’m aggravated to the point of distraction by it. Take your advertising and stuff it! t’s an insult to anyone with half an ounce of design sensibility and an example of the cheap crassitude of the marketplace. Flickr never felt like part of such a place. Now it does.

Well, call me clueless but I honestly don’t see what the problem is. I would be curious to know what objections are being raised. Unless Yahoo has changed some kind of functionality on the site, I do not see what having their brand name on the screen should matter to anyone. If they own the site, they have the right to put their name and logo on it.

Oh noooooooo, it says Yahoo! It’s the end of the world! Aaaaaaaaahhhh! :D

Yahoo has got a lot of web properties. But it may not always be known/visible to others that Yahoo owns certain sites. This way they create more Yahoo brand awareness.
This in turn will make them more appealing to advertisers.

The Flickr community probably revolted because Yahoo has a more ‘boring’ image these days. They don’t want to be associated with that boring parent company.

But between you me and the web, those Flickr users need to chill and take the blue pill. [or was it the red one :D ]
