RIP "Intel Inside"; 1990-2006

So, you have an object lesson of how no amount of logos can prop up a company forever if its products don't make the grade.

Yes, but they are replacing it with 'Wannabe' by the spice girls (I absolutely refuse to capitalise their name)

You can not be serious, FACT.

Don't bother to reason with Asher. It is actually quite fun to read his low quality consultant buzzword "arguings".

And his insults - well - he has no clue about how to insult people - he is lightyears from experts such as MOBIEUS. He can deliver high quality insults that demands thinking, where Asher's just make you laugh a little.

It's funny that you try so hard and so often to belittle me, but you do it in situations where you make a total ass out of yourself.

Visual Studio is the IDE of choice for large software development, not vi/gdb/gcc. That's not an opinion, it's an empirical fact.

Similarly, when a company like Intel -- which is still dominant today because of its image and marketing, decides to redefine its image and marketing it's a fairly big deal. If you don't understand the ramifications of that, that's your problem -- and why would somebody who thinks vi is the be-all and end-all of programming environments understand market dynamics, business strategies, and market image.

It is precisely why people like you will remain at the bottom of the barrel of code monkeys, while your wiser colleagues who can see the bigger picture will get promoted over you.

I fail to see how this is a monumental change. In fact, it's barely newsworthy.

The old logo:


The new logo:


It's still blue. It still has the swirly thing around it. It still says Intel.

Your beloved Microsoft has changed slogans several times and no one cared.

Previously they used the "Where do you want to go today?"
Now they're using that Start Something ________ slogan.
Above you you can see the billion different slogans Coke has used.

Basically this whole topic gets a fat "Whoopty Freakin' Doo!!"

My next rig is going to be based on an AMD chipset so I've dropped Intel from my watchlist a long time ago.

[Asher]

You don't think it's a big deal that one of the more recognizable brand names (Pentium) and logos in the world is dying?

What kind of impulse makes a company drop an obviously successful, longstanding campaign like "Intel Inside"? What benefits does Intel stand to gain financially from the new logo?

Panic due to losing market share. They begin to question the things that worked, and not the people who have screwed things up.

[Verto]

I wonder if this has anything to do with Apple's shift to Intel?

[Sava]

OH NOES!!!

They replaced a well known, nice sounding slogan with a lame one? Morons.
