Yikes, the new HBO Max rebrand is getting roasted

HBO Max logo

We've seen plenty of significant rebrands in 2023 so far, from the likes of big brands including Nokia and Pepsi. The latest has arrived courtesy of streaming service HBO Max – and as well as a new logo and brand identity, the platform has a new name. And it's getting a little roasted online.

HBO Max is now, simply, Max. Unveiled by Warner Bros this week, the platform now combines the offerings of Discovery+ and the original HBO Max. While it might make sense for the service not to rely on a single brand name after the merge, users are mourning the loss of the HBO name – and the prestige it signifies.
