Seriously, it almost reminds me of some weird variant of Braille.

All I see is a bunch of lines. How is this supposed to be "fresh" and "hip"?

Reminds me of SS bolts. I didn't think you could get any more basic than their old logo.

Oh, know what it really looks like? Celtic Ogham.

What was wrong with their old logo? It was simple and descriptive and I think that's pretty much the needed criteria for a logo.

Their logo should be Cthulu.

But it doesn't have to be! They could introduce a new Lovecraft printer designed by HR Giger.

I don't even want to think about what a printer designed by HR Giger would look like...

Maybe the Giger one would actually fucking work.

Maybe HP reverse-engineered this one from an alien monolith with it engraved upon it in a terrible code.

Eh, I liked their old one better. This is just their old one missing a line or two.

Well, it's got four lines, so it's more like a ripoff of the ghetto fake adidas that we used to have to get at payless.
