The new Head of Gaming at Microsoft, Asha Sharma, has made it clear that she wants to change the fortunes of the brand. We’ve had Game Pass price cuts and rumors of a new entry tier for the service that will cut costs (at the expense of the games you’ll be playing), and now, we have some new brands.
I mean, it’s not a wild rebranding, but it’s definitely a mix of old and new. For anyone who remembers the glory days of the OG Xbox all those years ago, there’s a flash of the familiar boot screen. Then there’s a little 360 there, and, it’s like if you said to ChatGPT, combine these logos – you don’t think they do, right?
Just kidding, we actually like the new green X, and so do a lot of other people if the comments are anything to go by.
Another brand with a green logo is engaging in the sickening corporate branding chatter on social media that seems to be catching on. Mountain Dew and Razer are responsible for this, but the signs are clear: things are changing on Xbox when it really needs to be.
The tweet showing off the logo came with a simple “We are Xbox” message, which sounds more like something a sports team might use, but at least it’s not the “Everything is Xbox” nonsense from a few months ago.
Feel free to vote in our poll below, and let us know whether 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.
