Airbnb just revealed it’s new logo and it’s certainly…something. At a press conference earlier today, CEO Brian Chesky told users that the refreshed brand’s ethos is to build a sense of “belonging” since a home is where you feel the most comfortable.
“If we are to be understood as a brand — and more importantly as a community — we need to communicate this idea of ‘belonging’ to the world,” said Chesky before leading everyone into a communal prayer circle. That last part didn’t happen, but the company claimed the new logo represents three things: people, places, and love.
Twitter users, on the the hand, interpreted it as a dick, vagina, boobs, a butt and even ET’s head.
