The latest revision of the Mastercard logo has taken the graphic design world by storm. Everyone has an opinion, but this time, it seems just about everyone likes this logo makeover.

As Lynda.com author John McWade tweeted: “MasterCard logo redesign is killer. Simple. Familiar. Attractive. INSTANT identification. THAT’S WHAT A MARK IS FOR.”
