My note: Wouldn't it have been better to say, Xerox is the only global information instructure with printers attached? Probably not, but a talented copywriter could translate the idea into something some real people understand.Sure, OK. Would you like a mint?
Update: My fave design-writer Armin at Brand New reports that one of the reasons Xerox did this drastic change was because it animates better.
I find it rather humorous — and please excuse me while I get my biggest gripe out of the way — that this logo 'animates' better and how it's a key strength. Yet, the best that could be done (at least at launch) is this? Seriously?"

The Xerox logo is a cross between a hard peppermint candy, and the Microsoft Xbox logo. I can understand that Xerox would like to make a statement distancing themselves from the brand of a copier, but I do not think that a child's toy was the way to go.
