With brick and mortar establishments forced to close up shop due to an increase in online shopping, one retail giant remains tenacious and even changed their logo.
Best Buy introduced a new, streamlined logo in tandem with evolving business strategies. But will those changes keep the retail chain safe from the off-switch for a few more years?
Time will tell. But for now, initial reactions to the store's new logo weren't particularly favorable. Some just weren't buying it.

@healthynaff I’m bothered at the thought someone likely made a lot of money for that design and I’m over here slaving it away.— Liquid (@Liquid) 1525975923.0
The new design sports an easier-to-read white font against a blue background instead of the former black lettering within the shape of a yellow price tag.
What was the thought process behind the graphic change?

The logo change is part of the company's re-branding strategy that launched on May 9.
Best Buy staff writer John Vomhof Jr. described the upcoming growth initiative, including their expanding merchandise offerings and the evolving ways of selling them.
The creative elements of the refreshed branding include an updated Best Buy logo and a new look and feel with updated colors, photography and conversational language. It's all designed to highlight our culture, our expertise and our talented employees.
Some consumers were okay with the design.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Not a big fan of this logo, specifically the font. I think it should be thinner or thin with a shade of bold in it.… https://t.co/ikmg8AjRUe— David Becker (@David Becker) 1525919115.0
Criticism about the new logo's familiarity began brewing.

The new @BestBuy logo sort of looks like a cross between the logos for Finding Dory and Bud Light. https://t.co/vDs3cyC1dC— Aaron Bearden (@Aaron Bearden) 1525877602.0

If customers could contribute ideas, the logo might look something like this:

Could this prognosticate the retailer's future?
