    I saw an article about how a 21 year old brand logo (Lao Gan Ma 老干妈 chili sauce) became a fashion icon[0] for Chinese Fashion Week and wondered what the Western world would be like if companies didn't rebrand so often. The Lao Gan Ma logo certainly wouldn't have the same cachet if it was a 2 year old logo that looked nothing like the original[1].

    Is it possible to make brands (or software) that's just "done?"

    Why do sites continue to use the hamburger menu??? (and also hide the menu if we don't decide to allocate 1200px of real estate to basically empty website!?)

    Such a bad UX for discoverability.

    Here's what I see:

    @charleyma, why does the company go with that vector art style that _every_ website has these days? It is no longer unique or recognizable.

    It looks cool, and management is probably going to be super happy. But that's not what a brand is about. It should be identifiable and recognizable. This does nothing of that.

    Congrats -- you now look like every other company in the fintech space.

    Is it just me or is the light-blue link color very hard to read against a white background?
