Myspace Rebranded. In Other News, Myspace Still Exists

Myspace (remember them?) is gearing up for a complete overhaul with the launch of a beta site that includes a total rebrand of the Myspace logo.

The new Myspace logo is said to deliver a message that Myspace is “a space where people can express themselves, enabling users to personalize the logo and make it their own – just as they can throughout Myspace.”

Yep, pass the bong.

The beta site features users pages with customized contextual content. New content “bubbles” up through the pages introducing the reader to the latest news, music and more.

And just because the beta is so original, the new site will also offer…..wait for it….badges users can earn for using the site.

“This marks the beginning of an exciting turning point for Myspace. Our new strategy expands on Myspace’s existing strengths – a deep understanding of social, a wealth of entertainment content and the ability to surface emerging cultural trends in real time through our users,” said Mike Jones, CEO of Myspace said in a statement. “Myspace is unique in that it is powered by the passions of our users, who program the site by expressing interests, sharing tastes and knowledge around particular topics, and scouting out up-and-coming subcultures. This is the just the first step and there will be many more features, programs and improvements to come.”

We’re still staggered that people are still using Myspace at all, let alone the fact that they are relaunching it.
