On 1 July, MySpace changed the their logo. No longer does it say “MySpace.com – A Place For Friends.” Now it simply says MySpace. The old and new logo are as below:

Old MySpace Logo

New MySpace Logo- no more motto

The PR of MySpace refused to confirm that the logo is new, or say why they changed it. It sure is absurd to have a conversation that goes something like “So it looks like you’ve changed your logo this evening? No Comment. Uh huh. Ok, so any official reason why you changed it? No comment.” Trade secrets, I guess. And heck, I’m just happy someone still works there to pick up the phone.

MySpace is also on the warpath to get more users. At login they now strongly suggest you log into your email and invite friends (hopefully they’ll avoid turning this too spammy). And they’ve also added the “people you may know” feature as a widget to all logged in profile pages.

MySpace will be removing some of the ugliest ad units that adorn the site.
