  fast­code­sign.com: The Sony Logo That Never Was   #

In 1981, Sony as­ked the pu­blic to re­de­sign their logo. Then it rea­li­zed it was a huge mista­ke.

viel­leicht war es ein feh­ler des sony-ma­nage­ments zu ei­nem wett­be­werb für die neu­ge­stal­tung des sony-lo­gos auf­zu­ru­fen. aber es war de­fi­ni­tiv kein feh­ler, das alte logo zu be­hal­ten.

  me­di­um.com/mat­ter: How to Get Away with Uber   #

bob­bie john­son:

But the re­por­ters who en­joy the spec­ta­cu­lar ta­les of Uber's ar­ro­gan­ce can also be on the sharp end. Uber hench­men re­gu­lar­ly take it upon them­sel­ves to chi­de jour­na­lists who cri­ti­ci­ze the com­pa­ny, and so­me­ti­mes they -- and Ka­l­a­nick hims­elf -- go much fur­ther. Last year the CEO at­ta­cked a Reu­ters re­port on a push for new in­vest­ment as “com­ple­te­ly fal­se" and the pro­duct of “ex­tre­me­ly poor re­port­ing and jour­na­li­stic ethic." (Reu­ters took the sto­ry down, but th­ree months la­ter, it emer­ged that it was re­al­ly in­ac­cu­ra­te only in one sen­se: It did­n't va­lue the com­pany's stock high en­ough.) Others say Ka­l­a­nick has pri­va­te­ly used this epi­so­de as an ex­am­p­le when th­rea­ten­ed with other in­con­ve­ni­ent­ly-ti­med sto­ries even though they were also la­ter pro­ven true. Then came the la­test back­lash, which star­ted when a se­ni­or exe­cu­ti­ve “jo­ked" to BuzzFeed about hi­ring op­po­si­ti­on re­se­ar­chers to ex­po­se the per­so­nal se­crets of a cri­ti­cal re­por­ter, Pan­do­Dai­ly's Sa­rah Lacy, in or­der to stif­le cri­ti­cism. It was dis­missed by Ka­l­a­nick as “not re­pre­sen­ta­ti­ve in any way of the com­pa­ny ap­proach." In fact, it's en­ti­re­ly ty­pi­cal: BuzzFeed has sin­ce run do­cu­ments show­ing Uber was in­ter­vie­w­ing op­po­si­ti­on re­se­ar­chers with an in­tent to “wea­po­nize facts" against its com­pe­ti­tors.

Ka­l­a­nick's brand of ruthl­ess­ness is not an ac­ci­dent, it's more a core cha­rac­ter trait.
