Hasta La Gadget!

You can spend all the money in the world, but an acquisition isn’t really complete until everything has been sufficiently re-branded. By that measure, it’s time to officially welcome Palm into the HP family.

Goodbye orange dot, hello branding afterthought. The new HP Palm logo looks as though someone slapped the word “Palm” onto the thing last second. It all seems a bit…mismatched… At least this puts to rest early speculation that the company might more or less abandon the Palm name.

It doesn’t particularly instill us with confidence about the company’s aesthetic future, however.
