I preferred the old one. Think it was clearer what it referred to for people not familiar with the logo.

I agree, though Nike would not


I disagree that the new one is too abstract. The w³ part is pretty pronounced, and then there’s design elements that reminds me of surfing.

I guess human perception is very subjective. To me the W3 is very obvious, but I have a hard time seeing a penis.

i can definitely see the 3 and also have a hard time seeing a penis, but whether i’ll see the w depends on the time of day






I like the old one because I like the W3C, but when you see it you do get the impression that they were important in 1995 and probably haven’t done anything since.

I’m with you. I don’t love the new one, but it’s an improvement.



this is slightly vertically overstretched

Double the TIL: W3C’s in charge of the ActivityPub standard


Corkscrew penis

You see what you ‘want’ to see. =)

This comment sections is one of the weirder moments I’ve seen on Lemmy.




Looks like a hanging nut-sack if you turn your head.

Experts in web technologies, but evidently not in graphic design.

“Not every change is a change for the better” is especially valid in the logo design area.

And: Don’t they have real problems where they could have spent time and effort on instead?


I like this one. Positive change in my opinion. :)


I’m reminded of laundry detergent for some reason.



Reminds me of an old Warner bros logo


All I can see is two wailords humping eachother. Love is in the air.


The consortium clearly has too much money.
