I've always been curiouis why in text it is spelled eBay with the capital "B", but the logo old and new is lower case "b". I would think a new logo would take that inconsistency into account.

Hi utilitysupplies,

 

We will continue to capitalize the “B” in eBay.

 

Cheers,

Except for coloring it is quite plain. I like it.

The new logo is better than the old one because the old one only capitalized the Y, making ebaY, which appeared goofy and random. I never cared for the old logo.

 

But in the decision making process, was any consideration given to making it Ebay? That would make more sense to me.

 

I would also vote to change PayPal to Paypal.

Ebay and Paypal look too strange to me.

 

I prefer ebay/eBay and just PayPal.
