IBM acquiring Red Hat, future plans

[scotchman]

ever try plain black Starbucks?

[Kevin]

Uhhh anyone know about this? Updating the sign or…?

[ericraleigh]

Someone that works at Red Hat told me they’re updating their logo and branding

[Tsar]

It’s part of their “Open Brand” rebranding project The Open Brand Project. A new logo will hopefully be up in a couple months.

Little more context about the sign change for Red hat.
" Red Hat disclosed Wednesday it would unveil its new logo and rooftop look next Wednesday (May 1) at noon."

Oh the suspense!!

White Hat? LOL. I’m surprised that it’s not Blue Hat now that they are part of IBM.

@John

White Hat? LOL.

Agreed…that really is too funny!

You know that they had to know…I wonder if they just dismissed the point?

[KenAA]

Well, it does have a red strip.

Kind of resembles a classic Flying Saucer UFO.

Dammit, @Will! You beat me to it. I was planning to get out after work and get a “close up” with my little bird. I’ll probably get it anyway and update the group.

From Monday:

[Will]

There was actually a black drone out there filming the red hat sign and a white drone filming the teachers march. I wondered if either were you.

[OakCityDylan]

I’m at my day job. No dronin’ for me yet today.

[JosABanks]

That’s terrible on so many levels.
Also it looks like the hat Michael Jackson wore in Smooth Criminal so it’s extremely problematic of course.

[JosABanks]

That’s a red hat (extra characters)

[evan.j.bost]

Anyone else getting some Taco Bell vibes here?

[JosABanks]

Not until you said something and now I won’t be able to unsee it.

[OakCityDylan]

And now I’m hungry, hungry.
