Uber’s got a new logo and branding, and the app icon has dropped the iconic ‘U’ in its design. Uber’s CEO and co-founder, Travis Kalanick posted about the update on the company’s official blog.
Kalanick says the design change was necessary because he felt that Uber’s look had peaked, and that the company has grown a lot since they opted for the Black and Grey logo, in place of the original red magnet logo.
The Uber CEO’s post says, “Uber began life as a black car service for 100 friends in San Francisco—everyone’s private driver. Today, we’re a transportation network spanning 400 cities in 68 countries that delivers food and packages, as well as people, all at the push of a button. And thanks to services like uberX and uberPOOL we’ve gone from a luxury, to an affordable luxury, to an everyday transportation option for millions of people.”
