Huge Changes at Uber: Logo and App Redesign
This change was inevitable. As new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi became head of a company that was drowning, Uber was ready for a renaissance. They had to change their existing brand image to move in the right direction. The first step was to redesign. The old logo wasn’t well accepted by users because it didn’t communicate the message well.
Having all this said, they started from the bottom – with a new mission statement.
New Mission Statement
The old mission statement is too long, confusing and did not serve the company well: “Make transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere, for everyone.”
New times require concise and precise information, which led Uber to come up with a new solution. They also became aware that the message should be eye-catching and recognizable: “We ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion.”
This will catch attention faster, as it is shorter and more creative. However, this is only the beginning. The next logical step was to create a logo.
Simple and Effective – New Logo
The new logo is simpler and makes Uber recognizable. It is an Uber wordmark on a black backdrop. Simple as that. This is a positive change, because the logo looks nice and transparent, and will be implemented on Uber’s vehicles. Why does that matter?
