AOL CEO Armstrong Talks About New Branding Effort and the Investor Road Show! (Plus Internal Aol. Logo Video)

After AOL CEO Tim Armstrong unveiled the newly punctuated AOL logo–big A, little o, little l, period–last night, he got on the horn with BoomTown to chitty-chat about the change in image and, more pertinently, how it’s going on the road show to sell investors on the soon-to-be independent company. First off, Armstrong said he never considered dumping the AOL moniker, in an effort to rid the company of the 1990s feel of the brand, noting it had a “high level of affection.” Of course, I have a lot of nostalgic affection for Beanie Babies and the kids from “Saved by the Bell,” but that doesn’t mean I want them back.
