New Head of Gaming at Microsoft, Asha Sharma, is certainly making it obvious she is all about changing the brand’s fortunes. We have had the cut in Game Pass price and the rumors of a new starter tier for the service which will cut the cost right down (at the expense of the games you will get to play), and now, we have some new branding.
I mean, it’s not exactly a wild rebranding, but it definitely leans into a mix of the old and the new. For anybody who remembers the green glory days of the OG Xbox all those years ago, it has a tinge of that screen that used to boot with it. Then there is a little 360 in there, and, well, it’s like if you said to ChatGPT, mix these logos together – you don’t think they did, did they?
Only joking, we actually like the new green X, and so do plenty of others if the comments are anything to go by.
Other brands with green logos indulged in some of that sickening corporate brand chit chat on social media that seems to be all the rage. Mountain Dew and Razer were largely responsible for that, but the signs are clear: things are changing at Xbox at a time when they definitely needed to.
The tweet showing off the logo came with a simple “We are Xbox” message, which kind of sounds more like something a sports team might use, but at least it’s not that “Everything is Xbox” nonsense from a few months back.
Feel free to vote in our poll below, and let us know if you like the new logo or not
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
