One more variation of the new Yahoo logo, from the company’s design intern

It’s been a week of logos. Well, more specifically Yahoo logos. The company ended its 30-day period of showcasing designs to finally unveil its new logo — while companies like 99designs, Survata and DesignCrowd jumped on the wagon offering opinion and crowdsourced alternatives.

Update: It looks like Ma’s personal site has been taken offline and the video has also been pulled.
