SideProjectors.com: A place where unloved “joint ventures” go to live

This past week has been rather shocking, as far as branding and redesigns are concerned. First, Yahoo! changed its logo of almost two decades, to a wimpy new stick figure. The shocking part: Yahoo!

GoDaddy has released a new homepage, that sports a navigational menu reminiscent of the Microsoft Windows 8 “metro” interface. We’ll let that one slide.
