Airbnb logo redesign ridiculed on Twitter - is it an Automation Anywhere rip-off, sex organ or a dog?
Airbnb unveiled its new logo yesterday, which looks to celebrate ‘belonging’. While some took to Twitter to celebrate the rebrand, others suggested it looks like a vagina or scrotum, while others still pointed out a similarity to the Automation Anywhere logo.
We take a look at some of the best comments made: you’ll never be able to look at the logo in the same way again.
Some people enjoyed the logo…
The new logo of @Airbnb looks amazing. Simple, yet recognizable and symbolic. #Loveit #belong http://t.co/D8ygJItAOR

While others came up with the whole thought process on its creation.

Also in its "playful" form, it just looks like Walt Disney's logo pic.twitter.com/teVc8sR05X — Design UX/UI (@DesignUXUI) July 16, 2014
