Logo use on internet at scale is infrequent and colors trump visual metaphor. These colors are distinctive as is the seemingly abstract arrangement of them which is really what counts. The Apple logo has been assailed from day one and contrary to michaelpinto's assertion, a logo never held back anybody....unless you feel the Yahoo logo "Y!" was a self inflicted decisive blow....and how do you construct "slightly vague" and "great job" into whole cloth. Help me here with how any of this matters, if the logo (which will more often then not be a chip on a nav bar) isn't evocative but is none-the-less a distinctive abstract color assemblage?
