    Did they hire the people who renamed HBO to Max? Who wants to bet in 9 months the people behind this rebrand are fired and they go back to MSNBC?

      David Zaslav is the geriatric idiot who ruined discovery, history, etc with reality shows and fucked up HBO streaming with the discovery+ max reality shows and no credits garbage.

        STD was pretty bad to begin with, im not surprised it dint survive, needs someone else other than kurtzman, or a showrunner like him.

      the funny thing is microsoft hasn’t had anything to do with it for over a decade, yet they bent over backwards to keep “MS” in the name and purged the “NBC” part lol. Surprised microsoft is cool with this tbh.

    This looks like a fake TV station they’d have in a movie or something. Especially the logo…

    If I had a nickel for each time a major company changed their logo from a recognizable bird to something completely generic, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice

    And to think, it’s likely some company got paid millions to come up with that bullshit. Jesus that’s a lazy and, in my opinion, stupid name.

      Yeah, I’m not as down on the rebrand as everyone else seems to be, but this logo is a complete failure.
