Airbnb Logo Makes the Wrong Kind of Headlines
According to BBC News, a seven-member team at London’s DesignStudio worked on the new Airbnb logo for a period of a year.
Surely, during that time, the agency group was not hoping to generate headlines of reaction to “Bélo” like these:
“Everyone Thinks Airbnb’s New Logo Looks Like A Vagina (Except Airbnb)”
“The New Airbnb Logo is a Sexual Rorschach Test for Our Times”
“Yes, Airbnb’s New Logo Looks Like a Butt. That’s Kind of the Point”
And Airbnb and its design partners certainly were not counting on a Tumblr blog dedicated to spinning off the logo into all sorts of anatomical illustration arenas.
