There is just so much wrong here.

Can anyone explain why all the 'incidental' graphics on the website are printing press related (halftone dots, mis-registered colors)?

What the hell unique lineage does slack trace to the printing press? Also how does that align with the new ultra generic could be any kind of business logo.

And let's not even talk about that sweet negative space swastika.

Oh god, cannot unsee.

Edit: It's not even negative space. I just see it as a swastika.

Oh come on. There are other logos like that. Do you see a swastika on Google photos?

Why not "look at that sweet negative space windmill"?

Eye of the beholder, I guess.

>Oh come on. There are other logos like that.

Yes -- on asian temples...

The google photos icon is obviously a windmill, there's not whitespace for lines.

The nazi swastika is counter-clockwise. But it was close.

> that sweet negative space swastika.

It's not facing the same way as the Nazi one, first off, and would you also say that's a problem for Sun, or for Columbia (bikes/outdoors)?

Apparently yes:
