What’s Old is New

I’m not sure exactly when this happened, but Old Navy has a new mark. No press releases, no launch events, no announcements. I actually couldn’t find anything anywhere, although I didn’t try calling anyone. Old Navy simply updated their mark. They have refined the oval and changed the typography. Nice.

I imagine they’ll still just use the type on signs and other applications.
