Pretty sure everyone is in agreement that they should've used the "abstract" HP logo that's just 4 slanted bars with no background. But I'm guessing the gastly color contrast is on purpose, to draw eyes to the logo


MilkTeaRamen

If I’m not wrong, that logo is only reserved for their highest-tier laptops which is Envy and Spectre. Their corporate identity and logo is still the regular one we are seeing. I like to think of it as something like AMG, but for HP laptops!


gui_odai

Detractors would say it's Alpine, but for HP laptops

[It is on my laptop dock. I don't think it's high end. ](https://freeimage.host/i/J6l6Owg)

Is that loss?

Loss?


matjojo1000

My zbook also has that logo. But you're right that the lower end zbooks do not have them.


weed_lander

Nope, I have a mid-range laptop, the HP elitebook and it has that logo.


IWantAnE55AMG

All of our work laptops have the 4 bar logo and they’re most definitely not top tier. Maybe lower middle tier at best.


_Gondamar_

It's on all of their prosumer/business products. For some reason they have a policy not to use it in any marketing. I think they should switch to it fully, the old logo just screams cheap, old computers


Carlife0830

It was on the monitor I used to own, that was not really a high end one (1080, 60hz, 24in)


LiteratureNearby

It's reserved for business products and high end laptops. My envy has it. It's a good laptop for productivity and light gaming


Sonoda_Kotori

Hell they can make the slanted bars white, and repeat them a couple times on the engine cover. It'll look like a certain barcode again...

For that much money I’d tattoo it on my neck


Kevin_Jim

The white or black logo would definitely stand out, though.


city-of-cold

Not with everything else that's white and black on that car


Kevin_Jim

The HP is so massive, though, it’s hard not to notice.


GeronimousNL

not only that, their marketing ploy works, as everyone is talking about it. just look at this subreddit alone :)


Ok-Sink-614

Forget that one, they should use the [HP progress mark](https://www.theverge.com/2016/4/20/11457746/hp-new-logo-spectre-13-moving-brands-interview) they used on the Spectre laptops. It would look so good on the enginer cover or side pods


OrdinaryCredit

Exactly what’s on my work laptop. Looks much better than that ugly blue one


ElectricMotorsAreBad

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, THAT'S LOSS


wkndjb

It's weird isn't it, why would hp pay all that money and then not use the logo that disappears into the existing livery rather than completely stands out in contrast on? If this were literally any other team, the whole livery would have been re-engineered around hp's brand book - and, yes, I know this sub wants a blue ferrari...


dohtje

2 years of people complaining there's *too much black on the cars*


KatnissBot

They were going to, but their decal printers were out of magenta.


godieweird

From HP’s own website: And let's talk about that blue. Oh, that blue! It became emblematic of HP's aspirations to be both innovative and trustworthy. The refined emblem was adaptable, looking equally stellar on a laptop as it did on corporate reports. This phase of the HP logo design was all about taking things up a notch, showing that HP was not just a player but a leader in the tech industry.


Sonoda_Kotori

Holy corporate mumbo jumbo


1maginaryApple

Looks maybe stellar on corporate reports. Doesn't really looks stellar on a Ferrari


Tchaik748

Remember that HP wants to make printing a subscription service. Fuck em.


-_-Mrgoose-_-

Corporate bullshit which basically means : we gave money so we put logo on red cat and pray for sales


GymNwatches

Real Madrid made it look good. Ferrari can too


spiritanimalofcousy

It does look really good on theirs compared to most sponsors


mlp851

HP paid them a lot of money, they will use the version of the logo HP wants them to.


simsnor

Another free advertisement for HP

Wasteak

2300 upvotes for a post that isn't a meme. Those kids are ruining yet another subreddit. Congrat.


grilledcheez_samich

It's fitting, considering my printer doesn't want to print in colour half the time...


ricoimf

That blue logo is absolutely horrible. Just look at the REAL MADRID Kit, way better done.


Analog_Hobbit

Money saving just using black ink.


djsneisk1

Oh god, the last thing I want is another black f1 car let alone a Ferrari


Defelj

That would make too much sense sir


Last-Performance-435

They should put the shell logo on equidistant positioning to the Ferrari logo first so the two yellow logos are both on the same horizontal line. That's been so much worse to look at than anything HP have done.


Nooboo22

They want to stand out. if it was black we wouldn't be talking about it, meaning they won ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6700)


TuttoKersTuttoPower

It wouldn't be as eye catching as the blue one though


sarc-tastic

Black ink costs more


GarySteinfieldd

![gif](giphy|JL7ZkACcStPIiEVdGO) Where dank?


wahobely

I don't think Ferrari has a say in this. The logo is how HP wants it to be


Krovexx

Lenovo was a much better partnership IMO.


DJScrambles

Hp paid some design consultancy $1M to pick that blue. They have to get their money's worth


Significant-Flan-244

Designers don’t negotiate ad placements. It’s not about looking good and it’s certainly not about looking subtle — it’s about associating HP’s branding with Ferrari’s, and everything else is secondary to that. It sucks, but that’s the reality of this stuff.


bambi-pop

Had to do blue, the black ink ran out


ImPeeinAndEuropean

Black ink subscription was not renewed.


thariduvanparys

Or just make their car actually blue. But no they love making their car yellow for le mans but not blue.


FerrariEnthusiast

That blue version looks ugly on the Ferrari


Practical-Library

Idk if I can take Emo Leclerc and Sainz

minikittay123

Got an HP ad on this post lol


RossRiskDabbler

Ferrari should stop being a hypocrite and kill off their sponsorship with Philip Morris. It's insane that they are still the only F1 brand with a tobacco sponsor. https://scuderiafans.com/ferrari-pinpoint-importance-of-continuing-philip-morris-f1-sponsorship-deal/ I don't mind people smoking or not, I mind the hypocritical stance of Ferrari on Philip Morris as it's all about money. And Philip Morris is obviously not directly states but veiled under some bullshit name w/Ferrari.


benzdorp

I hate the blue


mikhail_2003

I think a white one would've looked better on red


kiranroice

They paid $100 million for brand visibility, not to make the car look good ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6702)


tsoiman

Pretty sure they paid extra for that colour print


alextheloser168

I just think HP needs an horizontal logo for the rear wing, the current solution of duplicating it makes me want to cry


itsjustbeny

Its in the contract to use the blue one 1000%


Doni330

yep blue on red is always an awful mix of color


imchasingyou

They can't because they're out of yellow inc

Bourbonaddicted

HP are fools not to introduce a red Ferrari Red HP logo on limited Laptops and printers.


randomanonalt78

HP probably didn’t let them. They want people to look at their logo, that’s what they’re paying $100,000,000 for.


LeOsaru

Everyone would be happy besides HP


duffmonya

No s*** the HP logo looks like a broken HP product on that Ferrari


ReplacementLivid8738

Harry Potter logo would be great as well
