I don't even get why that blue part is part of the app logo. it's ugly.

 

[NCR Ranger]

I see it. Though I doubt I would have if no one mentioned Hitler before hand.

 

[PandaShake]

never knew about the old new logo, but I really like the new logo. nice shade of cardboard brown.

 

[SquirrelSr]

Do they even need the blue tape for the app icon though? I thought the smiley arrow thing was already pretty distinct.

 

[Servbot24]

I never would have seen it, but now I can't unsee it

 

[NinjaScooter]

Who the hell looks at that & think's of Hitler

people who were already thinking of Hitler for some reason?

 

[scitek]

Good on them. I almost canceled my Prime before this change.

 

[StarStorm]

Wouldn't have noticed. Its a stretch.

 

[Jombag]

FINALLY!

Now when are Nike going to change their logo?

I mean look at it. That's clearly a picture of Hitler.

Looks more like Trump's hair

You mean you can't nazi it

 

[El Bombastico]

Um...that's a reach.

 

[OrangeNova]

Immediately saw hitler and laughed.

It's no hitler teapot but it was still that.

 

[Damaniel]

That's more than a bit of a stretch.

 

[SquirrelSr]

 

[DevilPuncher]

Well, I see it now. Don't think I ever would have otherwise. Good on them, I guess?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Now it kinda looks like a cyclops

Looks kind of like an animal snout to me.

 

[L Thammy]

It wouldn't be the first thing I thought of, but tweaking their logo to make it more clearly readable is pretty inoffensive.

Damn! Even throwing the arm out!

 

[Yunsar]

The logo looks more like Aang to me, especially with blue tape that somehow reminds me of his Airbending tattoo.

 

[kyle mechlachlan]

imagine being in the meeting where this gets brought up

 

[Sain]

The hell? Who looks at that and thinks Hitler?

 

[Wanderer5]

Now the new version looks like Aang ha ha.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

I don't think Hitler ever smiled

 

[I am a Bird]

Hitler was known for his trend setting blue moustache.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

Amazon folded faster than Superman on laundry day.

 

[Lump]

Fucking SJW Hitler and his blue-dyed mustache, spreading his antifa-communistic anti-union capitalist fascism.

It's like the Bomberman in Bioshock 2 cover thing.

Didn't see it at first, now I cannot unsee it, LMAO.

 

[BringBackSonics]

That is a reach..but some people can see something in anything.

 

[Chopchop]

That's one hell of a stretch.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Seems like a massive reach to me but hey, if it isn't bothering me, clearly I'm not the one who needed the change.

 

[donkey]

Eh, I just see Aang.

Top one is Hitler reading the Sunday comics.

 

[TheMadTitan]

I never saw it since I've run custom icon packs ever since the days of jailbroken iPhone 4. But I can see why people had that vibe, if you stretch a bit.

The new logo is better, if only because I hate the frayed edges on cut tape.

 

[Divorced Dad]

I did nazi that coming. And frankly, I'm a little shocked that I didn't

 

[Infinity Times Two]

Why not Chaplin? He did it before Hitler.

 

[Discontent]

Hehe it's sad that they actually changed it. I don't see Hitler there at all. Unless it turns out to be a 'once you see it' moment.

 

[TheZynster]

God do people reach so fucking hard on anything these days

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Because no one under 40 knows Chaplin

 

[Truant]

Fuck this. Bring that moustache back and make it represent something he hated.

 

[liquidmetal14]

Ok. Talk a out overly sensitive. What a world we live in.

 

[Vito]

Why can't you people be normal?

The evil toothbrush beat out the good one for posterity, huh? :(

How will fox news address this in their next segment on cancel culture?
