I wanted to write about the release of Flash CS4 so naturally I went to Adobe’s home page<\/a> looking for a copy of their new CS4 logo to paste into my article. But much to my surprise, the CS4 logo was nowhere to be found. Various glyphs, runes, icons or elements representing other software applications were liberally scattered throughout Adobe’s site but I couldn’t find a single image with the new CS4 logo.<\/p>\n Is Adobe ashamed of their new logo?<\/p>\n They might be. I used Google to do a quick image search and found Aral Balkan’s article<\/a> comparing the uninspired CS4 logo to the work of a first-year Typography student. One commenter even went so far as to call it, “a stick figure on its knees, scratching its ass<\/strong>.” While that may be a bit harsh, I think the logo has all the design elegance of those cheap plastic<\/a> hooks<\/a> used to hang X-mas lights on rain gutters.<\/p>\n What do you think of Adobe’s new CS4 logo? <\/p>\n It may not be the most important part of a hot new software release but I think it’s interesting to see how Adobe uses or perhaps fails to use their own tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think the CS4 logo has all the design elegance of those cheap plastic hooks used to hang X-mas lights on rain gutters while others think it looks like a stick figure on its knees scratching its ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flash","tag-adobe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/711\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pixelwit.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
