I struggle to imagine this royal of an unforced error happening under Bezos. "Poor" Andy Jassy will certainly have his hands full, I reckon. Not that anyone doubts his prowess (he's historically known to be a very effective win at all costs businessman) but dare I say that he maybe will lack some of the foresight, acumen, and product instincts of Bezos? I am reminded of Gates/Ballmer. But maybe I am overfitting here.

The original logo came out before Bezos stepped down.
“See we’re so good we will stamp out the remotest resemblance to the ABSOLUTE EVIL that WE defeated a century ago.”

If you'd ask around the leadership at Amazon, they'd say Andy Jassy is as close to a "co-founder" you're going to find.
Besides, one simply cannot found and run a business like AWS while also lacking foresight, acumen, and product instincts.

Andy allegedly was tapped up to run Microsoft at different points in his career. So, may be not...
Andy likes to say that in business, rarely does one catch lightening in a bottle (ie you need a lot of iterations before you get lucky), but Jeff Bezos did indeed catch one in Andy Jassy. I mean just listen to him talk: https://thedisruptivevoice.libsyn.com/60-overcoming-the-capi...

Strong as Jassy is, he is no Bezos. And I will say that AWS and retail are different beasts. For obvious reasons, I can't legally get into any more detail than that.
All this overcorrection is just sad and infuriating. Nobody cares about these things anymore outside the self-righteous West. “See we’re so good we will stamp out the remotest resemblance to the ABSOLUTE EVIL that WE defeated a century ago.”
There is a lot of subjectivity to what brains see. I don't blame Amazon for changing the logo if lots of people complained, but I'd be concerned that so many people made that connection.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You think the Hitler imagery is obvious? I would have never seen it.
yeah I am still trying to find Hitler in that logo.
