Not the most interesting or relevant of changes but the update was also part of a change in tagline, of which Cover Girl had one of the most recognizable.See original post
No.
Ditto on being neither the most interesting or relevant of changes but the thin lowercase of Calvin Klein was a classic and the only interesting thing about its replacement is that it was designed by Peter Saville.See original post
No.

Pinterest dropped its highly recognizable script wordmark in favor of the boldest weight font they could find because business.See original post
