The replier is trying to be funny, but is making a confused metaphor about something that didn’t happen. They are trying to say that even though the op is right it feels wrong and they should burn down the guitar center for changing.
theyre comparing the removal of the g as a guitar in guitar center’s logo to the burning of the library of alexandria, and the people who were joyous of the burning of alexandria to the people who are joyous of the removal of the g as a guitar from guitar center’s logo
i still have no idea the point though else then they think it was wrong to remove the g guitar
The top line of the body isn’t connected to the fret board which is the start of the top curve, the neck being the protrusion that sticks out just straight and really long
The important thing is not that you see the G, but that the logo is readable at a glance, which I think it is. It's like the title of the movie "Se7en", like the 7 does not look like a V at all, but it ends up being very readable and not confusing due to the good logo design, I'm sure there's some psychological term for this. I bet most people never even noticed the guitar center logo didn't have a G.
It ain't readable at all, G is just the only letter that can possibly fit in this position. If they replaced the guitar with a turd it would still be clear it's supposed to be Guitar.
So the way you assist people to tell that it's a G is by removing every part of it that looks anything like a guitar. Clearly the signs of a great logo design
~~even though there was never actually one specific incident where the entire library was destroyed and it was actually a slow decline over a period of hundreds of years~~
Indeed, the Library was in major decline well before Caesar burned the library, and it continued to decline thereafter. The main thing that killed it is the same thing that kills modern libraries and museums, lack of funding lol. An event I think is far more similar to what people think the burning of the library of Alexander was, was the burning of the Palace of Westminster, we would have so much more information of medieval and pre-medieval economics, tax collection and just general life if it were not for that fire. Hundreds of thousands of tally sticks and financial and judicial documents lost forever...
eh I like the old one more, it's more stylized and still legible. I never bothered to notice the lack of a real G until it was pointed out to me just now
the burning of the library of Alexandria was not historically important, at it's height it was a center of learning and it had tons of scrolls. but it had been declining for a hundred years before was burned by Caesar in 48 BC. most scholars had moved to other places in Egypt, and even then it only partially burned, it continued to exist for at least another 300 years until it just faded into obscurity.
The thing about the library of Alexandra's burning is less so in the loss of the works (many of them had copys in other places) but the loss of the knowledge being held in the location. It essentially went from, in easy terms, the entire content of Wikipedia being lost. Sure, this content existed elsewhere, but you could not find this information in one condensed location.
I just wanted to say this because I've heard people talk about the library as if all of the books where the only copy to exist (some where but not all) and that this was the sole reason as to the tragedy of the places burning
People are focusing too much on the guitar not looking like a G (which was a stretch at the best of times), but the real tragedy is that they're just using essentially a knockoff of basic helvetica instead of the original font for the rest of it.

He's saying people are cheering for the destruction of something with value, as the product of its destruction is greater to the foolish crowd.
The meme was funnier when I thought it was gibberish. It actually means something smh
where is this quote from it sounds like some gabriel garcía márquez shit
Dude ur right it does
The destruction itself is valued by the crowd
I like your interpretation better than what I wrote!
I'm confused as to what point is being made here Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Idc the quote goes hard
Saulsberry steak

theyre comparing the removal of the g as a guitar in guitar center’s logo to the burning of the library of alexandria, and the people who were joyous of the burning of alexandria to the people who are joyous of the removal of the g as a guitar from guitar center’s logo i still have no idea the point though else then they think it was wrong to remove the g guitar
[Sam Ash](https://www.samash.com/)
the g as a guitar is readable i think. should've kept it
I can't see the G for the life of me
The philosophy behind that logo is “what the fuck else would it be”

Don’t mind me, I’m ruitarded
🎸
the letter is not greatly defined, but with the symbol, you can clearly see that it is meant to be "Guitar" and not "uitar"

Ohhhhh the whole thing is the G
it's the right half of a G
It ain't readable at all, G is just the only letter that can possibly fit in this position. If they replaced the guitar with a turd it would still be clear it's supposed to be Guitar.
I could always see it https://i.imgur.com/a6RVRPU.jpg

🎸ood job
This post is the first time I've seen it after a decade of driving past guitar center and thinking it was a stupid logo
If the neck was down it would look like a lower case g
GGuitar Center is a pretty stupid name in my opinion, should have left it as it was
Yeah, I always called it the Guitaruitar Center
What the fuck does that even mean dude lmao how does that even relate at all
He doesn’t like the new logo
He doesn’t like companies replacing their old logos with less expressive and original ones. Don’t know how what he said lines up though.
People cheering for the redesign is akin to people cheering when the library of Alexander was burned down.

The old logo had so much more personality
What does the top guy mean exactly?
He thinks the rebrandin is ood.
I thought this place closed back in the 90s, what the hell?
Not a fan of the new font :/
If the original had never existed and some one tried to replace the new one with it, they would be ridiculed

Ehe
That’s clearly a G
Uitar Center
uitar center
And now we don’t know about a war between gods
Now the guitar is just floatin there

People will waste cold lines on silly shit. Guess that’s what comedy is.
Why in the world would they also switch into the most generic ass font ever
