News flash:
EBay has decided to tone down the colors of its logo. See the following site for more info.

Yep.. and all of their tape has had that logo since they introduced it and it still makes my packages look like they were packed by clowns in the circus.
All that color going every which way on larger packages. The box is so busy, it is a wonder the USPS folks can even read the label, and much less see FRAGILE stickers on the box. Many times on a more expensive item I still use the clear tape and the box just looks so much more professional when I get through with it.
It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point they add a jester wearing a pointy hat & shoes waving a scepter. Better off just going with the new style lettering with the tight kerning and in a solid red on a white background, or white bold letters on a clear background. But man, what a mixture.
Again, just my own, simple opinion…

Haha yeah the tape needs to be toned down for real. I dig the free 12 pack every quarter but the circus clown thing comes to mind as well when the taped up masterpiece is finished. Ends up looking like a terrible 90s website with vomit rainbow gradients, spinning animated goofy graphics and floating balloons as your mouse cursor. The only thing missing from the tape design is random barcodes and addresses, that would be a nice vintage touch. Just having a good laugh, all and all that’s what keeps eBay weird and awesome!
