That's what you get when you pay someone 3.5 million to design the new logo for your internationally known and respected company.
And they approved it and are moving forard with the re-branding.

Are you sure it didn't include other stuff, or do you mean literally 3.5 million for making a logo with a name with dots on it next to the end part of letters?

Looks like a road sign diagram of autoerotic sex positions.

Branding is often an expensive and ludicrous proposition. See the new Pepsi logo for example - which will cost PepsiCo hundreds of millions of dollars. (http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/aaron-perry-zucker/new-ideas/pepsi-design-process-explained)
It's really funny to see these huge conglomerates spend millions on designs that someone in their own art department could do for pennies.

I never understood the need to spend millions rebranding. I mean it makes sense if a company moves in a drastically different direction. Or they need a new image after a company disaster.

Looks like a silly video game logo.
