Hi everyone... This is Don Fotsch with PayPal's product, user experience and design
team.
Over the past several weeks, we've been testing
our new home page design with the Community and we've seen an extraordinary
amount of participation and encouraging feedback.
In the next few weeks, we will be ending the beta test of our new home pages
so that we can incorporate your feedback and begin phasing in the new site design
and experience.
The new PayPal logo
As part of our overall redesign, I'm excited to let you know that later this
month, PayPal will be introducing a new logo.
Our current logo has served us well over the years. However, based on research
and discussions with consumers and merchants throughout the world, we believe
the time is right to take an evolutionary step in our look. You'll see this
reflected in a new PayPal logo. You can see the new logo here.
You'll see an immediate change of the new logo on the PayPal and eBay website
and in our emails in the next few weeks. We are also reaching out to the millions
of merchants who accept PayPal to update their checkout buttons to the new look.
Please note that eBay sellers do not need to take any steps to update the logo.
Thank you for your support as we continually improve the user experience on
PayPal and make it safer and easier to pay and be paid online. I hope you enjoy
our fresh new look and I look forward to your continued feedback!
- Don
