Their Facebook profile picture as of a few hours ago. Did we really bully them out of their guitar-shaped G or is this simply a late April Fools Day joke?

For those un-initiated, they have been getting lightly roasted lately in the typography/graphic design worlds for "getting away" with having a guitar as the G. This, joke or real, is possibly a response to it.

For example:

Old one doesn't look like a penis at all to me. Looks like a fucking guitar.

But then again I have a ukulele downstairs so what do I know about guitars.

Oh nm misread second post. Still leaving my ukelele joke.

Gilmore Girls could have used more guitars, in that someone should have been hitting Rory with one like they're El Kabong.

the guitar barely looks like a G but the log is still perfectly legible.

I don't care either way.

Wish these mooks didn't have a monopoly on Fender and Gibson, though. At least guitars last decades so I don't have to spend any time in these stores.

One time where I think the new one is just as good if not better.

Cleaner guitar and the guitar of the old one doesn't look much like a "G".

I prefer the old branding. Though I'm surprised they didn't move away from "Guitar Center" entirely given how little of their floor space is given to guitars these days compared to the early 2000s.

The new logo is more legible, which, for a brand like guitar center...is more important than being cute or clever

The guitar doesn't have to look like a G. It looks like a guitar, they sell guitars, your brain fills in the rest.

I like the first one better. The guitar screams G to me. But then again, I'm somebody who thought the roof in the Pizza Hut logo was a hat for almost 30 years...
