In 2010, deep in the recession doldrums, eBay handled $62 billion worth of buying/selling transactions and $92 billion worth of financial transactions, while bringing in about $9 billion worth of revenue for itself. A rare big-name survivor of the first dot-com bubble, the company remains a prized tech stock and boasts some 100 million active users. Two years ago, it purchased its own billion dollar a year marketing company, GSI Commerce. And, today, eBay unveiled a new logo. Now, my graphic design qualifications are pretty much limited to owning a pirated copy of Illustrator, but I find this absolutely fucking hilarious.
