Whether or not we utilize their services, we're all familiar with Amazon's simple little smile logo.

But apparently, Amazon thought it was time for a little change of appearance...

The new logo featured the smile we all know on a cardboard box, now accompanied by a piece of blue tape peeking over the side of the box.

Here's what the logo looked like:

But for some viewers of the new logo, the Amazon smile bared a striking resemblance to someone.

And it wasn't Jeff Bezos.

In fact, some viewers looked at the little piece of fringed tape up over the smile and recalled someone who was known, in part, for a very narrow mustache... not to mention, genocide.

You guessed it: If you didn't see the resemblance before, you can probably see now where some people were able to argue that the new Amazon logo was reminiscent of Adolf Hitler.

Vicky Bullen, the CEO of the branding agency, Coley Porter Bell, analyzed the phenomenon:

"Unfortunately for Amazon, the visualization of their parcel tape on the original logo will immediately be associated as a Hitleresque moustache, as that shape is forever embedded in our brains as such."
"[It's] not the best association for a brand that wants to create delight on the doorstep."

Amazon received so much backlash for the logo, they decided to update their look one more time.

Now, it still includes the little piece of tape, but the jagged edge was removed and one corner has been folded up, much like it would be if someone were to patiently peel the tape from the cardboard box when opening it.

I don't know what that's like, but maybe other people do?

But now that the logo has been officially changed, other people are speaking up, wondering what all the fuss was about.




Others thought their fellow viewers were just looking for something to be mad about.




A few pointed out that they recognized Charlie Chaplin in the logo more than Adolf Hitler.




Amazon is having a tough time creating a new look for itself in 2021.

Maybe it should have focused on improving some other features instead?

Fans Up In Arms After Harry Styles Concert Tickets Are Already Reselling For Bonkers Price

Fans have been essentially grieving for the past three years while Harry Styles took a much-needed break from touring, opting instead to enjoy other experiences—like accidentally seeing Pope Leo's conclave election.

The pop singer revealed last week that he's planning to tour after he releases his fourth album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally,” in March. Styles will travel to Amsterdam, London, São Paulo, Mexico City, Melbourne and Sydney, and will also play 30 shows as part of a residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

MAGA Actor Dean Cain Slammed After Swooping In To Defend ICE Shooting Of Alex Pretti

MAGA actor Dean Cain, best known for his starring role as the titular superhero in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was slammed after speaking to TMZ to defend ICE after agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.

In an interview with The New Yorker published Sunday, the British-American freestyle skier acknowledged the striking “parallels” he sees between the hit series and his own private life, particularly in the years before he publicly addressed his sexuality.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.

Conservatives Are Melting Down Over 'He-Man' Movie Joke About Pronouns—And They Missed The Point Entirely

Nicholas Galitzine stars as the titular super hero in the upcoming film adaptation Masters of the Universe, and given our times, it's only natural the film would make a joke about pronouns.
