A O Hell — oh no, they're back!
It seems that AOL is, sadly, alive and kicking and will be leaving the shadow of Time Warner and is rebranding. Huge amounts of design expertise has obviously gone into this; maybe even years of skillfull effort, as can be seen from the logos in this link to the New york Times.
Whereas it was previously AOL, it's now going to be "Aol." — the period, or full-stop, apparently makes all the difference. So poor is this rebranding that it can surely only have been done by the favoured offspring of an AOL bigwig.
All I can say is, that after causing untold damage to the environment with the unsolicited distribution of hundreds of millions of CDs to almost every household in the world, what a pity AOL couldn't have just rolled over and died. Maybe AOL!!! would have been a more apposite choice.
