If no one else has used the term "xerox" as a pejorative verb, i.e.: replacing a potentially timeless and universally recognizable logo with something patently forgettable as Xerox did a few years ago with the red X-ball, let me be the first.

Behold the old and new ALDI logo.

The vibe I get: a conversation in the Art Department at the dawn of desktop publishing, circa 1980s . . .

"Larry's not gonna like this. He's our best airbrush artist but now we can do gradients on the computer! And without the fumes!"

The puffy stylized A wouldn't look out of place on an athletic shoe, while the font suggests a make of car from a former Soviet Bloc country.

Won't make me stop shopping there. Your thoughts, world?

The new sign on the right, has the look of what Maytag used in their signage.

The old one looks more modern. The new one feels simplified in a bad way i.e. dumbed down.
