Its neat and I am glad they are changing it, but they are building a super walmart near me and destroying tons of apple orchard to do it. So that I am not happy with.

Not only a logo change, but I guess a name change too. From Wal-Mart to Walmart.

I bet that logo was designed in China

I realize that was an unnecessary comment and shows my ignorance like a bull in a china shop.

But I HAD to say it :p

I have always marveled that some business people think that changing a logo will make people run right out and start buying their product. (and flying balloons over their business during a sale).

Good for them I guess. I don't think that it will really affect the size of their customer base.

Then again, they've likely paid consultants enormous amounts of money to tell them the exact opposite, so who am I to know :)?

I don't like the new logo.. I think it looks tacky and cheap.. IMO. I'd prefer they kept it how it is.

I think a nice molotov cocktail to the side of their buildings would be a GREAT change! I think it's the much preferred changed, if you ask me.

agreed with pretty much all of that.


it's as if dupont put a little smiley face in place of their "o" in the early 70s. their supporters would have thought it was nice, and those suffering the effects of thier "products" wouldn't have been swayed.

shop at target - at least the money ends up in my back yard (mn) ;)

Since they changed their logo, will they start giving equal pay to their employees and stop basing pay on race and gender?

Wow, so much animosity towards a company that puts just about anything you could need in one place, and guarantees the lowest prices. Odd.



I like the new logo, I'm always for changing styles and looks.

The prices are "cheap" because they drive everyone else out of business. They most certainly have an monopoly in the retail game. Their business practices are tenebrous, they don't care about anything except making more money and opening more stores. The CEO is a prick, sorry if you like walmart. Maybe read up on them and their practices and then judge how weird it is for people to have strong opinions toward the company and their practices.

To me, it's not weird. I'll keep going to target and meijer, and elsewhere. I have been for as long as I remember, I have never liked walmart and I never will. Other places have cheaper products as well, which I find very funny.

Walmart can burn for all I care, they are right up there with mc donalds and kfc.

I thought it all went to France. Or was I misinformed?
