To lose the .com — Go Daddy
World’s largest domain registrar will drop .com from its logo.
That iconic GoDaddy.com logo? It’s going to get a bit shorter.
Today at its Registry Days conference in Phoenix, Go Daddy CEO Blake Irving disclosed that the firm is going to drop the .com ending from its logo.
That notice was met with a round of applause by the audience, which is made up of firms that hope to chip away at the .com empire.
Irving stated the branding change will occur over the next year.
Irving gave an analogy of telling his kids regarding records, and how amazed they were that it used to be how everyone listened to music. He imagines that his kids will tell a similar story regarding domain names to their kids. They’ll tell their kids regarding a time when every web site ended in .com — something that will be difficult for them to understand in a world of hundreds of gTLDs.
