8. Ben's Original: A Missed Opportunity
While removing racially insensitive imagery was necessary, the rebranding to Ben's Original lacked a strong new identity. Social responsibility and brand recognition must go hand-in-hand.

7. Pepsi: Too Many Choices
Pepsi's logo redesign was confusing and lacked distinctiveness. Consistency and distinctiveness are key in logo design. Stick to a clear, consistent visual identity to avoid diluting your brand.

6. Tropicana: Don't Mess with Success
Tropicana's redesigned packaging lost its iconic orange with a straw, confusing customers and leading to a significant drop in sales. Never underestimate the power of familiar visuals. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

5. Gap: Don't Alienate Your Loyal Fans
Gap's attempt to modernize its logo backfired spectacularly. The lesson? Don't alienate your loyal customer base with drastic changes that deviate from your core identity. I wonder who did this same mistake. 🤔

3. MasterCard: Losing the Mark
MasterCard dropped its name from its logo, leaving only the intersecting circles. While aiming for simplicity, they lost a key element of brand recognition. Don't sacrifice clarity.

2. Uber: Twice the Trouble
Two rebrands in three years? That's a red flag. While gathering feedback is crucial, Uber's rapid changes created confusion and diluted its brand identity. Consistency is key to build trust and recognition.

1. HBO Max ➡️ Max: Less is Not Always More
Shortening a name can backfire. HBO Max lost its association with HBO's prestige and got lost in a sea of other "Max" brands. Keep it unique!

Neil Cooper (Wolff Olins) is right: "Musk destroyed an iconic brand! Years of brand building, recognition, associations... all erased overnight." Twitter's iconic colors, logo, and even the word "tweeting" were instantly recognizable, just vanished like that. 4/8

As a brand designer, I'm calling it: the Twitter to "X" rebrand is a disaster. The mass migration to Bluesky might just prove my point. Let's analyze why this rebrand failed so spectacularly. 2/8
