Unfortunately no matter what anyone attempts in a treatment of the logo, people will complain and say that they could do better. The internet has turned everyone with a copy of Photoshop into a self-believed design expert, while Gap as a clothing chain rightfully cares more about keeping 130,000 employees and $800+ Million in sales operating.
As usual, a lot of noise on the internet, little-to-no reaction in the real world.
If you took time to really read my post you will notice I state quite clearly that its always easier to redesign someone elses' work.
This is just a fun project for me, and by the way, I used Illustrator. :)
