No offense, but it looks like shit! The letters are too thin and don't have beautiful proportions.

Get rid of the 3D depth effect they've put on the letters, and it looks fine.

Wow, they are really trying very hard to come up with silly gimmicks to stay top-of-mind, only way to sell ads these days.

I don't understand why they added the bevel, it looks like WordArt :(

The bevel only makes it look even more antiquated. At a moment like this you would think they would go for a 'fresher' look.

I think it looks pretty bad, but this was the first time I visited a Yahoo site in years so I guess their plan is working.

Out of the 30 days of logos, this one looks most similar to day 7 to me -- which according to Survata was the second most popular out of the 30: http://survata.com/blog/yahoo-showed-us-30-days-of-logos/

It is a better shade of purple. The bevel is kind of gross, and I'm just left a bit disappointed. A missed opportunity to do something great.
